We’re Appealing Court Ruling on Restriction of Operations, Says FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has made known that it will appeal the Court of Appeal judgment restricting the operations of the agency to only federal roads.

This was disclosed in a statement released by the agency and signed by Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem and made available to Accurate News.

The statement read in part “Pursuant to the judgement passed by the Court of Appeal sitting in Asaba, Delta State in Appeal No. CA/AS/276/2019: FRSC and Darlington Ugo Ehikim, wherein the the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) operations were restricted to only federal roads, the Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu has stated the intention of the Corps to seek stay of execution as well as appeal the decision of the court.

“We are aware of the judgement of the Court of Appeal Asaba Judicial Division from the briefing received from our Legal Representatives. However, as at the moment, we are yet to obtain a Certified True Copy of the judgement.

“As soon as we obtain same, we would take time to look at the judgement and make an informed decision on it. Until then, we urge  the public to remain calm”.

The Corps Marshal further said that the implication of the judgement as reported in the media is that the operatives would not be able to attend or rescue crash victims on roads other than federal roads.
