The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and other Related Offences Commission(ICPC) has arrested 25 officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps in Lagos.

DAILY GIST gathered that the dubious FRSC personnel were arrested at the licence centres in Coke-Aguda, University of Lagos, Ikeja, Iponri, Bariga, Ojo, and other areas for bribery to the tune of N1million.

According to the ICPC, the need to rid the FRSC of corruption led to a collaboration between the two agencies, which led to an exercise, Operation Tranquility, which was carried out nationwide.

The ICPC in a statement said that the highest bribery amounts were recovered in Lagos State.

The commission said, “The collaborative exercise was aimed at arresting FRSC officials who extort motorist on the highways. As a result of the exercise, over 100 FRSC Officials have been arrested across the country while a huge amount of funds taken as bribes have been recovered.

“It also involves bringing an end to unwholesome practices by FRSC, Vehicle Inspection Officers and Motor Vehicle Authority Agency towards generation in Driver’s License Centres.
