Okada men, FRSC and Police

Okada men in Nigeria fears the Federal Road Safety Officer than the the police officers despite the fact that they don’t carry guns.

i was on a bike today going to locate a friend when we saw some Federal Road Safety Officers some metres away. The bike man quickly turned his bike on sighting the officers.



Curiosity, couldn’t let me keep shut so I had to ask, why the sharp turn, so he started “these days we fear the Federal Road Safety Officers than the police oh, despite the fact that they don’t carry guns …. When you are caught, they don’t take bribe for any reason, they would confiscate you vehicles and ask you to go to their office to bail it. This bailing of your vehicles takes some strenuous processes. From going to the bank, to going to their office for verification and a lot of questions.

He preferred been caught by a police office to being caught by a Federal Road Safety Officer, because you can easily bribe your way through.

Does it mean that the Federal Road Safety Officers does their job diligently compared to the police officers?
