“This development is another proof of FRSC’s stand on upholding the rule of law and protecting its personnel from acts of aggression.
“We are steadily winning the fight against assault on our operatives, as offenders are being decisively prosecuted and brought to justice,” he said.
“The Corps will continue to ensure that perpetrators of violence against its personnel are identified, apprehended, and prosecuted accordingly. Our zero-tolerance stance remains firm,” Shehu added.
