A combined team of Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Department of State Services and the Federal Road Safety Commission, has arrested no fewer than 33 officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission(FRSC), over highway extortion.
The arrests, which also included a civilian, was jointly conducted under an operation codenamed “Operation Tranquility V” to rid the agency of bad eggs whose extortion of motorists on the nation’s highways has given the establishment a bad image. The Spokesman for the ICPC, Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, said in a statement on Friday that the raids were carried out simultaneously in five locations in Anambra, Enugu, Cross River, and Plateau states. A total sum of N45,875 were recovered from the suspects, an amount classified as proceeds of their extortionary activities.
