The Special Marshals are the volunteer arm of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), established under Section 10 (1) of the FRSC statute, as defined in the FRSC Establishment Act (2007). This provision allows for a combination of both uniformed and non-uniformed members, as determined by the Commission. The Special Marshals are composed of respected individuals—men and women with integrity and influence within their workplaces and communities—who are committed to promoting road safety. Empowered by the Act, Special Marshals are authorized to conduct patrols, enforce traffic laws, and perform other activities that enhance safe road usage on Nigeria's highways. They also hold the authority, similar to Regular Marshals, to arrest, cite, and prosecute traffic violators when necessary.
