Her comment sparked a massive reaction as fans took to her comment section to share their thoughts.
@KenEhi7: It’s tactics they don’t have the numbers in the police force again and nobody is really applying for recruitment, so incase there is protest outburst,Road Safety will be added to the force to combat with it. It’s a strategy i guess bcos no meaningful reason to Arm Road Safety.
@davetush2010: It is insane to even think it. For what purpose, Arms & riffles for road safety compliance?
@Xpress_LS: So many guns in the hands of incompetent and irrational folks for a country where gun isn’t legalized.
@elvyblick32: Lowkey, it’s the FG rebranding and re-equipping the FRSC as Sars in disguise.. There’ll be no difference. We must speak against it.
@KODUSOLE: An agency that should have been scrapped; they want to empower them with guns. For what exactly? Such a misplaced priority.
The bill sponsored by Rep. Abiodun Derin Adesida and Rep. Olaide Lateef Muhammed seeks to amend the FRSC Act, 2007 to provide for the establishment of the FRSC Special Armed Squad.
The controversial bill has now been passed for a second reading in the House of Representatives.
Henshaw in another post wrote, “We are still standing at a time when our reality is meant to break us. But in the face of extreme hardship and purposeless leadership, we are still able to keep moving. We can’t give up, and we can’t stop trying. That is the resilience of the Nigerian spirit.
