Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has responded to the news that the House of Representatives plans to pass a bill allowing Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) officials to carry firearms.
Concerned about the risks of this bill, she shared her thoughts on X on October 14, 2024, emphasizing the ongoing fight against police brutality.
“We are still dealing with police brutality every now and then. Now, they want to add road safety. Who will protect the citizens?” She wrote, voicing her disapproval.
Henshaw’s supporters filled the comment section to show they agreed with her views, expressing their unhappiness with the bill.
“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,” an X user wrote.
Another follower commented, “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.”
The bill put forward by Rep. Abiodun Derin Adesida and Rep. Olaide Lateef Muhammed aims to change the FRSC Act of 2007. It plans to create the FRSC Special Armed Squad and includes other changes to improve the agency’s operations. The bill has now moved on to a second reading in the House of Representatives.
In another post, Henshaw 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. In the young people of Nigeria, there is yet untapped energy for a different world.” – Jude Ilo @thoughtsandmace.
