The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged the public to disregard an old viral video circulating on social media showing a tricycle rider, unclad, violently confronting its operatives in Benin, Edo State.
Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM), Corps Public Education Officer, (CPEO), said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ogungbemide said the video, which resurfaced recently, was not a new development but an incident that occurred on July 16, 2020 along the Benin–Sapele Road, and had since been resolved both legally and administratively.
He said that the recirculation of the video was a calculated attempt by mischievous handlers to attract traffic to their social media pages.
This, he said, was aimed to misinform the public and stir unnecessary emotions over a matter long concluded. (NAN)
