A video has emerged showing the moment some officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) engaged in a ‘fight’ with a motorist.
The incident happened, according to report happened on Saturday October 25, in Edo State.
It was alleged that trouble started when the motorist refused to give the FRSC officers money
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has mandated an immediate investigation following a video that is currently circulating on social media.
The video reportedly shows a physical fight between FRSC officers and a motorist in Abudu, Edo State.
The video, which was viewed on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, depicts a driver striking uniformed FRSC personnel during what appeared to be a standard traffic stop.
A voice in the background of the video, which offered an explanation of the incident, “claimed that the confrontation allegedly started when the motorist refused to give the officers money.”
In response, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed issued a statement through the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, on Sunday.
Mohammed described the episode as a matter of “deep concern” and vowed that the situation would be “thoroughly examined” to determine the full circumstances of the confrontation.
“The attention of the Federal Road Safety Corps has been drawn to a viral video circulating on social media showing an altercation between some FRSC officers and a driver along Abudu, Edo State, Nigeria, on Saturday, 25th October, 2025.
“The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, has expressed deep concern over the incident and has ordered an immediate investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the confrontation.
“He emphasised that the Corps does not condone any form of unprofessional conduct or behaviour that undermines the integrity and discipline for which the FRSC is known.
“He further assured members of the public that appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken against any officer found culpable, in line with the Corps’ operational guidelines and public service rules,” the statement read.
The corps appealed to the motoring public to remain calm and cooperate with FRSC officers, whom it described as committed to ensuring safer roads and protecting lives nationwide.
“While the FRSC remains steadfast in its mission to promote road safety, maintain order, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism in service delivery, the corps marshal will also not tolerate any form of assault or violence against its personnel from members of the public in the course of duty,” the statement added.
