FRSC Prohibits Officers from Politician Escorts During Campaigns
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a directive prohibiting its personnel from escorting politicians and providing convoy services during campaign activities. This announcement was made by ACM Abimbola Owolabi, the Zonal Commanding Officer in charge of RS6, during her visit to the Cross River State Command in Calabar.
Owolabi emphasized that official vehicles, patrol equipment, and sirens must not be utilized for political purposes. Officers are instructed to concentrate on traffic control and road safety, particularly as the 2027 general elections approach, which will likely increase movement across major highways and urban centers.
The directive aims to prevent congestion and accidents during large political rallies and campaign convoys. Owolabi warned that any unauthorized use of official vehicles would be considered a misuse of government resources.
Additionally, she called for enhanced public education on road safety and urged officers to intensify awareness campaigns regarding traffic regulations and responsible driving.
