Motorist Caught On Camera Fighting FRSC Officers During Traffic Stop (Video)
A clash between a motorist and officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reignited discussions about law enforcement conduct on Nigeria’s roads.
A video circulating on X shows a driver whipping uniformed FRSC personnel during what appears to be a routine traffic stop.
According to reports, the altercation began after the motorist accused the officers of extortion—a claim that the Corps had yet to officially address.
The Nigeria Police Force has opened an investigation into the incident to determine the full circumstances of the clash.
The footage has reignited public discussion about recent calls for arming FRSC officers.
Critics warn that providing firearms to an agency already facing allegations of harassment could increase risks for motorists and escalate tensions during traffic stops.
While many Nigerians condemned the driver’s violent reaction to law enforcement, others viewed the confrontation as a symptom of broader frustration with perceived aggressive and unfair traffic enforcement practices.
