House Of Reps Denies Approving Firearms For FRSC
The House of Representatives has denied approving that members of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) carry and use firearms. The House Committee on FRSC, at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, said it only expressed concerns over the safety of members of the corps. On Thursday, the Corps Marshall, Boboye Oyeyemi, had appeared before the committee to defend the 2021 budget proposed by the FRSC, where he lamented the threats to officers of the corps. At the meeting, the lawmakers suggested that members of the corps should bear arms to curtail the excesses of road users in the country.
