A former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Ali Biu, has died at the age of 62.

Biu, who was born in 1964 in Sabon Gari, Zaria, Kaduna State, reportedly died at a hospital in Abuja on Sunday evening.

A nephew of the deceased, Adamu Isa Gunda, confirmed the death, saying his remains would be transported from Abuja to Chikaji, Sabon Gari, Zaria, for burial.

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

He served as Corps Marshal of the FRSC from July 2022 to 2024, having risen through the ranks since joining the corps in 1988.

Biu was appointed acting Corps Marshal by former President Muhammadu Buhari in July 2022 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 had earlier served as Assistant Corps Marshal in charge of Finance and Accounts in 2014 before being promoted 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).
