Many Nigerians are objecting to a bill that would create an armed unit for the Federal Road Safety Corps. The FRSC says the bill, if passed, would ensure the security of its facilities and officers, and that members of the squad would not be deployed on traffic patrols. But rights activists are calling for the bill to be rejected saying it could lead to intimidation, extortion, and brutality. Timothy Obiezu reports from Lagos.
