FRSC Denies Harassment in Viral Abuja Traffic Enforcement Video

The Federal Road Safety Corps has dismissed claims that its officers harassed or assaulted a driver in a viral Abuja traffic stop. The Corps says the April 16 incident involved a lawful interception for overloading and seatbelt violations, and that personnel followed standard procedures. In its statement, the agency clarified that the man holding an iron rod in the footage was a passerby, not an FRSC officer. It insisted no threat or force was used against the driver or any occupant. According to the FRSC, the situation escalated after the driver refused lawful directives, drawing a crowd. Officers eventually disengaged to de-escalate tensions and ensure public safety.
