News Update
No fewer than sixty vehicles were impounded today by the Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, during the commencement of a nationwide intervention patrol on number plate violations.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja at the commencement of the special intervention Patrol the Assistant Corps Marshal in charge of Operations, Hyginus Omeje, said the special intervention operation was aimed at tracking down the use of fake number plates, which some criminal elements have been using to carry out nefarious activities.
ACM Omeje stated that some diplomatic missions in the country have bitterly complained about their number plates being cloned, posing a security threat to their activities in Abuja and other major cities.
He assured that the FRSC would trace the source and fish out those responsible for issuing fake number plates, as the exercise will continue in all major cities across the country.
According to him, some citizens have taken it upon themselves to use unauthorized number plates not recognized by law.
Also speaking, the Assistant Corps Marshal in charge of Motor Vehicle Administration, Godwin Omiko, said the exercise became necessary as the FRSC would no longer tolerate the use of unauthorized number plates, which he said posed a threat to national security.
According to him, illegal number plate usage, fake diplomatic number plates, expired number plates for ex-public officials, and covering of number plates are offences under this special intervention patrol.
Mr. Omiko warned those using these categories of number plates to remove them or face prosecution.
He assured that the FRSC would not relent in carrying out its responsibilities in ensuring sanity on the highways.
