FRSC Corps Marshal warns officers on physical fitness
Corps Marshal of FRSC, Osita Chidoka has warned officers and men of the commission to remain physically-fit or be shown the way out of the service.
Chidoka gave the warning in Ilorin while addressing officers and men of the zone 8 command.
He warned that any officer who failed physical fitness test would be retired on medical ground.
The FRSC boss, represented by Boboye Oyeyemi, the Deputy Corps Marshal Operations, said the corps had zero tolerance for indiscipline.
He said several officers had been sacked as a result of indiscipline, stressing that the command would not condone any act of indiscipline.
Chidoka said the FRSC would be 25 years old in the next few weeks and must be seen to be above board.
He advised officers and men on patrol not to condone extortion and corruption on the highway.
The Corps Marshal warned that any officer caught taking bribe or involved in corrupt practices on the road would be dealt with appropriately.
He stressed the need for those on patrol to make use of the four-point approach of persuasion, education, subtle force and enforcement.
Chidoka said traffic offenders should not be booked for all offences, adding that men of the corps should also refrain from pursuing offenders on the highway.
He advised officers and men of the corps across the country to avoid friction and work closely with other agencies.
