A former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Ali Biu, is dead. He died at the age of 62 in Abuja.

Biu reportedly died on Sunday evening at a hospital in the Federal Capital Territory, according to family sources.

A nephew of the deceased, Adamu-Isa Gunda, confirmed the death, saying the remains would be transported to Chikaji, Sabon Gari, Zaria, Kaduna State, for burial in accordance with Islamic rites.

Gunda added that Biu, who held the traditional title of Jagaban Sabon Gari, is survived by his wife and five children.

Biu served as Corps Marshal of the FRSC from July 2022 to 2024, having been appointed acting head of the agency by former President Muhammadu Buhari following the retirement of his predecessor, Boboye Oyeyemi.

Before his appointment, he served as Deputy Corps Marshal in charge of Finance and Accounts at the FRSC headquarters in Abuja.

He joined the corps in 1988 and rose through the ranks, becoming Assistant Corps Marshal in charge of Finance and Accounts in 2014 before his promotion to Deputy Corps Marshal in 2016.

Biu held a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and was a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of National Accountants (FCNA).
