FRSC Nabs 34 Offenders, Reaffirms Zero Tolerance For Bribery and Traffic Violations
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has once again taken a firm stand against road traffic violations and corruption, securing the conviction of 34 motorists during a mobile court session held along the Calabar Ikom Highway in Cross River State on Tuesday, 29 July 2025.
The operation, conducted under the watch of the Cross River Sector Command, saw 35 drivers arraigned for a staggering 70 traffic offences.
Shockingly, 12 of the offenders attempted to bribe FRSC officers a move that only worsened their cases.
Highlighting the seriousness of the offences, the Corps revealed that violations ranged from failure to install speed limiters and driver’s licence infractions to overloaded vehicles, expired documents, and safety breaches like the absence of fire extinguishers and caution signs.
Speaking on the outcome, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, applauded the successful prosecution and reiterated the FRSC’s unwavering stance on discipline and accountability.
“The era of impunity is over,” he said. “No one, no matter how highly placed, will be shielded from the consequences of endangering lives on our roads. Corruption and laxity will not be tolerated.”
He encouraged the public to report erring officers via the FRSC mobile app, toll-free line 122, or at the nearest FRSC office, stressing that the sanitisation of the Corps must be a collective effort.
Mohammed also called on all motorists to obey traffic rules, ensure proper documentation, and prioritise safety, as the Corps intensifies collaborations with state governments to improve road infrastructure and boost public awareness.
