Reps say they didn't approve for FRSC to carry guns

Following the report that members of the Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), were allegedly approved by House of Representatives to carry guns and use fire arms, the house has denied approving such.

The House Committee on FRSC, at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, issued a statement, saying it only expressed concerns over the safety of members of the corps. "We made reference to existing law, the Road Safety Establishment Act of 2007, and Section 19 made it very clear that those on essential duties, those exposed risks should be protected by way of giving arms to them where possible," the house said.
