The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has addressed the resurgence of an old video featuring Deputy Route Commander B. Ojeamiren, allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to a statement signed by Olusegun Ogungbemide, Assistant Corps Marshal
Corps Public Education Officer, the incident, recorded in 2018, was thoroughly investigated, resulting in disciplinary actions against the officer, which were publicly announced at the time.

FRSC condemned the officer’s conduct and emphasized its commitment to maintaining discipline among personnel.

Following Ojeamiren’s passing on November 6, 2024, the Corps urged the public to consider the emotional impact of sharing such videos on grieving families.

Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed called for responsible reporting and verification of information before publication.

The statement reads: “The Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to react to an old video that unfortunately found it’s way back to the Internet in the last couple of days.

“The video, which shows our personnel, B Ojeamiren, a Deputy Route Commander as at the time of the incident, allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, had long been investigated and necessary disciplinary actions meted out to the Staff.

“The old video was recorded in 2018 and the Federal Road Safety Corps, being an organization that upholds discipline amongst it’s personnel whether in uniform or out of uniform, condemned the irresponsible misbehaviour or conduct of the Officer in totality.

“You would recall that the incident was promptly investigated at the instance of the then Corps Marshal and necessary disciplinary actions were adequately carried out at the end of the investigation and trial that followed suit.

“It is also on record that the Corps, apart from issuing a press statement condemning the bad road use behaviour, also made public, the disciplinary actions taken against the Staff.

“While the Corps commends bloggers for their prompt reportage of news articles, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed wishes to admonish the general public on the need to always verify the status and implications of information before being recycled as fresh, irrespective of the interest they intend to achieve with such publications.

“Unfortunately, the Officer involved in the video being circulated lost his life on 6 of November, 2024 after a protracted illness. As such, rather than making such publications to spite the Corps, purveyors of such news should put into consideration the mental, emotional and psychological implication of their actions on the deceased Officer’s family and friends who are obviously still mourning the passage of their loved one”.
