"FRSC has the constitutional right to arrest and prosecute traffic offenders in a Court of Law, while it also has the right to fine such violators. The Right is clearly stated in the Establishment Act of the commission; the FRSC is a law enforcement agency and it is equally a law abiding commission."
This announcement comes after the commission made numerous arrests.
