The Oyo State Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mrs Uche Chukwurah has warned officers and men of the corps to refrain from taking bribes from motorists or risk being sacked.
Chukwurah gave the warning on Sunday at a thanksgiving service organised by the Corps at St. David’s Anglican Church, Ibadan for successes recorded in 2019.
The sector commander said that the punishment for any officer caught collecting bribe was termination of appointment.
“Any officer caught collecting bribe will be tried accordingly.
“The givers and the receivers are always guilty,if the general public learns not to give them they will not collect.
“Follow them to the office to know why they want to collect money from you.
“If you give them money,you are also encouraging them to do the wrong thing,”Chukwurah warned.
She appealed to members of the public not to give bribe to any officer.
She said that the thanksgiving service was to appreciate God for what He did for the corps in 2019.
She said that no officer was knocked down by a vehicle throughout the end of the year.
She also said that no fewer than 92 officers were promoted in 2019.
Chukwurah pledged the commitment of the corps to reduce crashes to the barest minimum.
In his sermon, Vicar, St. Anglican Church,Ijokodo,Ibadan,Ven. Abiodun Bolaji, called on the officers to remember God at all times.
Bolaji prayed to God to always uplift the officers of the corps. (NAN)
