The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is the Government Agency with statutory responsibilities for road safety administration in Nigeria. Founded in 1988, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) operates in all Nigerian states as well as the Federal Capital Territory and is the leading agency in Nigeria on road safety administration and management.

The statutory functions include: Making the highways safe for motorists and other road users as well as checking road worthiness of vehicles, recommending works and infrastructures to eliminate or minimize accidents on the highways and educating motorists and members of the public on the importance of road discipline on the highways.

As vital as the work and duty of FRSC is, some of its officers have to abuse the privilege to exhort the public. Recently, a video went viral of how men of the FRSC were beating a bus driver, the members which were about 5 in number were seen hitting, slapping, kicking and blowing the man, the video has generated a lot of backlash from the members of the public.

The question, however, is how to report an erring FRSC corp member? It will be good if we know the duties and functions of this unit… AutoReportNG did a list of their functions which can be seen here.

Part of their duties include

– Arrest any person suspected of having committed an offence
– Remove and detain any illegally parked vehicle
– Endorse your driving licence if found guilty of the offence;
– Seize the driver’s licence of any person suspected to have committed an offence and/or the documents or particulars in respect of the vehicles

– Accept liability and pay the summary fine, or
– Contest the charge and ask for a trial by a court of competent jurisdiction
