The Federal Road Safety Commission has dismissed a Road Marshal Assistant, Sunny Kpogha, for alleged misconduct relating to insuring of fake driver’s licences.
The FRSC Sector Commander in Edo State, Familoni Oluwasusi, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Benin on Saturday.
Oluwasusi said the dismissal of Kpogha, who was in the Benin office, was to serve as deterrent to other marshals in the commission.
He said the dismissed staff had been handed over to the police for prosecution.
He said: “The Corp Marshal and Chief Executive of FRSC has directed that Mr. Sunny Kpogha, a Road Marshal Assistant, having been adjudged guilty and his appointment terminated, be handed over to the police for prosecution.
“Issuance of fake driver’s licence to members of the public is a punishable offence and perpetrators should desist from it.
“Faking of driver’s licences erodes the dignity of the country and reduces road taxes accruable to the government.”
Oluwasusi called on members of the public to ensure that their biometrics were taken during the driver’s licence issuing procedure.
