On January 7, 2025, a Chief Magistrate Court in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State, found Mr. Nuhu Isah guilty of intimidating a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) patrol team. The court sentenced Isah to six months in prison, with an option to pay a fine of N20,000.
The incident occurred on January 5, 2025, when Isah, a passerby, filmed the FRSC officers conducting their duties. He went further by instigating passengers to mob the patrol team. His actions disrupted the team’s work and put the safety of those involved at risk.
In response to the incident, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed of the FRSC condemned the behavior and called on all road users to foster a safer road environment. “We will not tolerate actions that impede our law enforcement efforts. The FRSC remains steadfast in its commitment to road safety, and we will continue to combat any threats to our officers,” Mohammed emphasized.
This conviction sends a strong message that disruptive behavior against law enforcement will not be tolerated. The FRSC urges all citizens to cooperate with its teams to ensure safer highways for everyone.
