The Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC has arrested a vehicle owner using both foreign and Nigerian Number on the same vehicle. The Corps public Education Officer ACM Bisi kazeem said that the arrest was in line with the on-going nationwide clampdown on unstable, unregistered and improperly registered vehicles. The CPEO said the operation followed the outcry about the security risks posed by noticeable violation of road traffic regulations by some motorists including those using foreign and Nigerian number plates on the same vehicles. FRSC arrested one of the perpetrators within the Idu operational area of Abuja following adequate intelligence gathered by the tactical team. The suspect was using two number plates BBJ746AA and CV51UMC on his volkswagen golf 3 car.

He said that ”there is a viral video of another driver. The search for the vehicle in the viral video is still ongoing but the just arrested Volkswagen and the driver have been handed over to the Lifecamp Divisional Police Command, FCT. This is for further questioning and possible prosecution, after the conclusion of the preliminary investigation by the Corps Intelligent Unit”.

FRSC tactical teams have been strategically deployed to impound unstable, unregistered vehicles and prosecute.
