The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has announced that its fight against corrupt officers would be intensified, as it was also prepared to reduce auto crashes on the roads. 


The FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, who made the disclosure at a Press Conference on Anti-Corruption Efforts of FRSC in Abuja, said that about one hundred and seventy-two personnel were currently being investigated. 


Dr. Oyeyemi said that the Corps had collaborated with the ICPC and DSS in ensuring the outright arrest of any person found engaging in acts that would negatively affect its reputation. 


 The corps marshal also said that a joint surveillance special team was constituted to regularly patrol and monitor activities of the Corps’ corrupt personnel across the country. 


He disclosed surveillance operations yielded positive results as over seventy staff were arrested in two tactical swoops, apart from other pockets of arrest made through the instrumentalities of the internal regulatory mechanism of the Corps. ‘Dr.  Oyeyemi said that the clampdown was in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing efforts at fighting corruption in the country. 


According to him, the move is to protect the huge national economic resources and intellectual property of the nation. 
He said that the FRSC was resolute in its commitment to sustain this clampdown by identifying and ridding itself of corrupt personnel.
