Popular Nigerian actress, Kate Henshaw has expressed displeasure over a proposed bill to allow officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to carry firearms.

 Taking to the X platform on October 14, 2024, Henshaw expressed concern over the risks, highlighting the ongoing struggle 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, opposing the bill.

Many of her supporters agreed, filling the comment section with their own criticisms.

One user wrote, “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.”

The bill, introduced by Rep. Abiodun Derin Adesida and Rep. Olaide Lateef Muhammed, seeks to amend the FRSC Act of 2007 by creating the FRSC Special Armed Squad and other reforms to enhance the agency’s operations.

It has now passed the second reading in the House of Representatives.

In a separate post, Henshaw emphasized the resilience of Nigerians, saying, “We are still standing at a time when our reality is meant to break us… We can’t give up, and we can’t stop trying. That is the resilience of the Nigerian spirit.”
