Most fake number plates used for crime bear presidency, NANS tag s — FRSC

The Lagos State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Kehinde Hamzat, has stated that most fake number plates used to perpetuate evils in the country bear the tags of respected institutions such as the presidency, Nigerian Youth Council (NYC) and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). According to him, FRSC officials have commenced a special operation to root out fake number plates nationwide.Speaking on Channels Televisions Sunrise Daily programme on Friday, February 7, 2025, he said;We think that most of these number plates are labelled presidency, NYC, NANS and some others, knowing fully well that these are established institutions that probably law enforcement agents wouldnt want to disturb. We now discover that they use all these things to perpetuate evils, and its becoming a security threat to the country, he said. If you check these numbers on the database, youll discover they are not anywhere. So when they misbehave, you start tracing the vehicle you cant identify. We are trying to pick as many of them as possible to investigate and prosecute them appropriately, he said. The operation is believed to be part of the FRSCs commitment to maintain the integrity of the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS).The agencys Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, recently directed his officers to arrest and impound vehicles associated with NANS but NANS leadership threatened to shut down FRSC commands across the country if the agency implemented it. The post Most fake number plates used for crime bear presidency, NANS tags FRSC appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
