The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has marked a significant achievement in its pursuit of justice with the arraignment and remand of Miss Monalisa Osayi, following her assault on RMA-II Habeeb Ndaman Sayidi of RS2.19 Lekki Unit Command during a routine patrol on 7th December 2024.

Miss Osayi was apprehended on Sunday, 15th December 2024, at approximately 4:05 PM by the Unit Commander of RS2.19 Lekki Unit Command after a week-long effort to ensure her accountability. She had earlier been released on bail by the Ajah Divisional Police Headquarters but was subsequently detained through strategic coordination by the Unit Commander.

On Monday, 16th December 2024, Miss Osayi was brought before Court 3 of the Eti-Osa Magistrate Court, presided over by Magistrate Oyaniyi FP. She pleaded not guilty to two charges: assault and breach of public peace by inciting the community against the patrol team during their lawful duty.

The court granted her bail under stringent conditions, including a 100,000 Naira payment and the provision of two family-member sureties with valid tax clearances. Pending her ability to meet these conditions, Miss Osayi has been remanded at Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison.

The case has been adjourned to 8th January 2025 for further proceedings

The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Kehinde G. Hamzat, emphasized the FRSC’s zero-tolerance policy toward violence against its personnel and reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the dignity and professionalism of its officers. This case serves as a strong warning against such unwarranted attacks and underscores the Corps’ dedication to justice.

The management of the FRSC emphasizes professionalism, discipline, and resilience in its operations and calls on members of the public to reciprocate by respecting road safety ideals and support the mission of promoting safer roads across Nigeria.
