Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Dauda Biu, has stated the intention of the Corps to seek stay of execution as well as appeal the decision of a Court of Appeal which restricted FRSC’s operations to only federal roads.
This is pursuant to the judgement passed by the Court of Appeal sitting in Asaba, Delta State in appeal no. CA/AS/276/2019 between FRSC and Darlington Ehikim.
A statement on Tuesday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem, quoted the Corps Marshal as saying, “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 revealed that the implication of the said judgement as reported in the media is that FRSC personnel would not be able to attend or rescue crash victims on roads other than federal roads.
