Pay Fines to Banks, Not Officers, FRSC Corps Marshal Warns Motorists

By Nkechi Eze

The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has issued a strong warning to motorists across the country, cautioning them against offering bribes or any form of gratification to FRSC personnel when apprehended for traffic violations. Instead, he emphasized that all fines must be paid only through designated banks.

In an official statement signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, the FRSC boss reiterated the Corps’ zero-tolerance stance on bribery and corruption. According to him, attempts by motorists to induce patrol operatives with cash or other benefits are not only unethical but illegal, and any motorist caught in such an act will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the FRSC Establishment Act of 2007.

“The Corps is built on the foundation of transparency, accountability, and professionalism. We will not condone attempts by road users to circumvent the law through underhanded means,” the Corps Marshal stated.

He stressed that the only legitimate method for the settlement of traffic fines is through payments made into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) via recognized banks. This, he explained, eliminates the possibility of funds being diverted into private pockets and ensures full accountability in the handling of public funds.

In the same vein, Corps Marshal Mohammed also cautioned FRSC personnel against soliciting or accepting bribes from motorists. He urged members of the public to immediately report any operative found engaging in such acts. “Soliciting bribes from road users is a gross violation of our standard operating procedures, and such personnel will be sanctioned accordingly,” he warned.

The public can report such infractions through several official channels, including the FRSC’s official email (info@frsc.gov.ng), the FRSC Mobile App, the Flag-It Anti-Corruption App, and via social media platforms including Facebook (@FRSCNigeria), X (formerly Twitter) (@FRSCNigeria), Instagram (@FRSCNigeria), and YouTube.

While encouraging Nigerians to continue obeying road traffic rules and regulations, the Corps Marshal commended citizens who have exposed unprofessional behavior among operatives through peaceful means. He affirmed the Corps’ commitment to upholding integrity and professionalism in the discharge of its duties.

The latest warning comes as part of FRSC’s broader efforts to sanitize road safety enforcement operations and rebuild public confidence in the Corps as a transparent and accountable institution.
