FRSC Officer Allegedly Beats Final Year Student to Death
An
official of the Federal Road Safety Corps is in serious trouble after
he allegedly beat to death a student of Kogi State University.
A student of Kogi State University, Anyigba, was allegedly beaten
to death by an official of Federal Road Safety Corps after a heated
argument for allegedly refusing to bribe the officer.
When news filtered into the campus, thousands of students
reportedly thronged to the streets in protest before storming the FRSC
office in the town during the weekend. The protesting students blocked
the Ankpa-Anyigba road causing traffic holdup.
The police were seen battling to restore order to the town as
bonfires were seen on the road of the university community. If not for
the intervention of policemen, the students would have caused more
havoc. The FRSC officer was whisked away to safety by his colleagues who
ran for their lives.
Some of the students who spoke on the incident, allegedly expressed
grief at the death of the final year student, threatening to fight on
until justice is done.
Although the incident could not be confirmed by the Sector
Commander of FRSC who refused to pick his call, a Senior Officer in the
sector who spoke on condition of anonymity reportedly confirmed the
incident.
