The Corps Marshal, who also warned motorists against enticing personnel with financial benefits as well as other gratifications when arrested for violating traffic regulations, maintained that FRSC has a zero-tolerance for bribery and corruption.

According to him, it is completely against the values, ethics, and standard operating procedures of the Corps for its personnel to be given any form of gratification while on duty.

He said any motorist found attempting to bribe FRSC personnel will be arrested and prosecuted.

“This is in line with extant provisions in the Corps’ Establishment Act (2007), as the Corps does not, and will not tolerate any form of corruption whatsoever,”he said.

He said that the Corps has had enough of motorists trying to circumvent the law by offering bribes to its personnel against making payment for their fines.

He, however, advised motorists to comply with the law and pay their fines to designated banks, which are the only legitimate way to settle fines.

While warning the staff against demanding bribes from motorists, the FRSC Boss urged the public to report any operative seen requesting bribes from motorists.

“FRSC remains committed to upholding the law and maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

He, however, commended citizens who have regularly flagged the misconduct involving the operatives without resulting in violence..
