The Ogun State Chapter of the Military and Paramilitary Public Relations Forum (MILPOPROF), has described the death of the former spokesperson of the Ogun State Sector of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) late Chief Route Commander Florence Nkenu Okpe, as a monumental loss to the law enforcement community and the country.
The group stated this in a statement signed by its Chairperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The group noted that while alive, Okpe discharged her duties with exceptional professionalism, dedication and efficiency.
The statement reads, "On the 28th of October, 2025, at about 1400 hours, the Ogun State Chapter of the Military and Paramilitary Public Relations Forum (MILPOPROF) was thrown into deep sorrow following the shocking and painful news of the demise of one of its esteemed members, Chief Route Commander (CRC) Florence Nkenu Okpe".
"Until her passing, she served as the Public Education Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun State Command, a position she discharged with exceptional professionalism, dedication, and efficiency. Florence was known for her humility, warmth, and unwavering commitment to duty".
"Her remarkable journey in law enforcement began in her twenties when she joined the Federal Road Safety Corps in 1998 as a young, intelligent, and disciplined officer. She graduated with distinction and consistently upheld the Corps’ high standards of discipline and service. Her brilliance and strong work ethics later earned her conversion as a Cadet Officer in 2005. With the guidance and mentorship of senior corps officers, she attended the Senior Staff Training, where she once again distinguished herself and graduated with outstanding performance".
"In the course of her illustrious career, Florence had the honour of serving her fatherland in several states of the federation, including Edo, Lagos, and Ogun States. In Ogun, she served as the Spokesperson of the Command, entrusted with the responsibility of informing and educating citizens about the activities and safety programs of the FRSC. Until her demise, she was the RS2 Command Public Education Officer (SPEO) — a role she carried out with grace, eloquence, and unquestionable competence".
"Within the circle of professional communicators, CRC Florence Okpe was deeply admired and revered for her soft-spoken nature, gentle disposition, and calm professionalism. She embodied excellence in communication and represented the ideals of ethical public relations in the security sector".
"Her legacies remain indelible and irreplaceable — a testament to her years of selfless service, mentorship and commitment to promoting safety, discipline, and truth. Her death is not only a monumental loss to the communication family within the law enforcement community but also to the entire nation she served with passion and pride".
The Ogun State Chapter of the Military and Paramilitary Public Relations Forum (MILPOPROF) has since paid a condolence visit to the FRSC Ogun State Command, where members signed the condolence register opened in her honour and extended heartfelt sympathies to the Corps Commander, Corps Commander Akinwumi Oladapo Fasakin, and all officers of the Command.
