Court Declares FRSC Operations On State Roads Illegal, Bars Officials From Stopping Motorists, Awards Damages

The Federal High Court sitting in Kano State has ruled that the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has no legal authority to operate on state and local government roads, declaring the commission's activities on township roads within Kano metropolis unlawful and a violation of citizens' fundamental rights. In a landmark judgment delivered on Thursday, Justice M. S. Shuaibu held that FRSC officials acted outside the powers conferred on them by law when they stopped, questioned, and delayed motorists on township roads in Kano in July 2025.
