The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said on Wednesday some of its officials had been queried over their alleged attempted assault of a lady following her altercation with a policeman in Abuja.

The lady had reportedly sped off with the policeman on her car’s bonnet after a failed a stop and search operation by policemen in one of the major areas of the nation’s capital

An eyewitness said the lady refused to wind down her window or park for the cops because they were not wearing face masks.

A statement signed by the FRSC Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, said the Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, has ordered the immediate withdrawal of the entire team involved in the unprofessional and uncivil act.

The statement read: “The attention of the Corps has been adequately drawn to a video currently dominating the social media sphere about a motorist who had an encounter with FRSC personnel in the course of carrying out the ongoing enforcement of Presidential/National directive on ‘ Stay At Home’

After a careful study and analysis of the video and what transpired in it, the Corps wishes to inform the public that the following proactive measures have been taken: The Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, has ordered the immediate withdrawal of the entire FRSC Team involved in the unprofessional and uncivil act.

“The Corps Marshal has directed that the entire team be queried and sanctioned in accordance with FRSC relevant regulations on discipline.” Watch the video below:
