The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has ordered a comprehensive investigation into an assault on an officer along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos on November 7, 2024

The Corps expressed concern over the increasing attacks on its personnel while discharging their lawful duties. In a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, called for the immediate prosecution of the offender, emphasizing the need for public cooperation and lawful grievance redressal.
The incident involved a Toyota Corolla flagged for a seatbelt violation. Upon inspection, the vehicle’s papers were found to have expired in December 2022, leading to its impoundment. While the driver complied, a passenger verbally and physically assaulted the officer, creating a scene and resisting efforts to resolve the issue.
The Divisional Police Officer of Ajah Police Station intervened, leading to the arrest of the passenger and driver for further investigation. The Corps Marshal commended the professionalism of the officers involved and reaffirmed FRSC’s commitment to justice, warning against future assaults on personnel.
