Ejiofor Expresses Concern Over FRSC Arming Bill
Human rights and constitutional lawyer, Sir Ifeanyi C. Ejiofor Esq., has urged the National Assembly to reject the proposed bill that would arm Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) officers.
He expresses belief that turning a civilian agency responsible for traffic management into an armed force would put public safety at risk and increase violence on Nigerian roads.
Ejiofor has spoken out against the proposed bill to arm the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), citing concerns about the potential for armed officials to misuse their power. He emphasizes that the FORCes primary duties are to guide, educate, and enforce traffic regulations in a calm and orderly manner, not to instill fear or intimidation.
Ejiofor urges well-meaning citizens to reject the bill in its entirety, focusing on ensuring roads remain a place of safety, not a battlefield. He also stresses that lawmakers and elected leaders should prioritize pressing national issues .
