1. These officers who sat comfortably in the air-conditioning offices will always back their field officers. Can the road safety man allowed somebody to injure his wife?
2. If the report is through, then the officer is wrong because it’s not what the corp’s asked him to do but criticizing Frsc like this is bad, we should give dem some credit, have you ever seen them go on rescue? carrying dead Bodies like Apams lol, pls let’s wait for the real news from the police.
