He began working as the Sector Commander Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Federal Capital Territory Command in October 2017.[7]

In 2019, he was misquoted as having said that it was a crime to use Google Maps as a driver, which was later debunked as being a false narrative during the 2019 Ember Months Campaign organized by the Lugbe Unit Command of the FRSC in Abuja, Nigeria's capital.[8][9][10][11]

On 12 April 2021, he was promoted from the rank of a Corps Commander (CC) to that of an Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) alongside nine others.[12][13] By December of the same year, he was the Zonal Commanding Officer FRSC for Plateau, Nasarawa and Benue States, as an Assistant Corps Marshal.[14][15]
