Report: Drivers kill 35 FRSC regular marshals in the last year

Report show that about 35 members of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were killed in the last one year
– The disclosure was made the floor of the Niger state House of Assembly
– One other regular marshal is likely to lose his manhood, report suggest
The Niger state commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Susan Ajenge has said that about 35 regular marshals of the corps have been killed by motorists on highways across the country in the past one year.
About 35 regular marshals of the FRSC lost their lives in the passing year, Commander Susan Ajenge has said.
Ajenge who made this disclosure on the floor of the Niger state House of Assembly, said the development occurred when the officers were trying to enforce simple safety regulations on the highways.
She said another staff recently knocked down by a driver while trying to clear obstruction on the highway, is currently battling for life in a hospital.
She said the victim may loose his manhood, having gone through two operations.
Daily Post reports that the state legislatures had invited the commander to defend the series of criticisms by the public against FRSC, over allegations of its officials intimidating and harassing motorists in its desperate move to generate revenue for government.
However, Ajenge defended the commission, lamenting that rather than obey simple traffic rules, motorists would turn around to criticise and attack FRSC officials.
Meanwhile, an FRSC officer was beaten to pulp in Lagos, after he reportedly caused a very ghastly motor accident. The FRSC officer was said to have caused an accident while trying to flag down a motorist
