The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised the public to stop harassing their officers on the road and accord them respect.
Assistant Corps Marshal Hyginus Uche-Omeje, the Zonal Commanding Officer incharge of FRSC Zone 8, comprising Kwara, Ekiti and Kogi, gave the advice in Ilorin on Wednesday during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Omeje said most officers are being harassed and intimidated while discharging their duty by some influential people in the society.
According to him, FRSC personnel are public servants prioritising public safety on the road.
“Our personnel are being intimidated and threatened on daily basis for discharging their duties.
“We deserve some respect and not insult. Accord us the respect we deserve and stop intimidating our men for doing their job.
