The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has welcomed the directives from the Police Inspector General of Police banning the use of Spy Police Number Plate nationwide.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem.
Quoting the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, Kazeem said the FRSC commended the bold step and further directed Commanding Officers of the Corps across the nation to join hands with the Police Force to enforce the order.
According to Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Marshal also directed Commanding Officers to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the enforcement of this very order.
He added that road users who also parade faded number plates should endeavour to replace them with new ones so as to avoid impounding their vehicles.
Oyeyemi further ordered full force and immediate impoundment of private vehicles that are using commercial number plates.
He reiterated the implications of the continuos use of faded and other unauthorised vehicle number plates to national security.
“The use of the Spy and other unauthorized number plates to continually violate traffic rules and regulations must be brought to a halt, hence the directive given to Commanding Officers to brace up and ensure that they give adequate priority to the enforcement,” he added.
