FRSC investigates viral rotational vehicle number plate

Acting Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps,  Dauda Biu, has ordered an investigation into a currently circulating video of a vehicle displaying rotational number plate.

The corps in a statement on Tuesday said the probe became necessary because the FRSC does not produce a number plate with such double features, adding, “Only one number can be assigned to one vehicle and its owner at the same time.”

The statement signed by the spokesman for the organisation, Bisi Kazeem, assistant corps marshal, read in part, “The attention of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been drawn to a video circulating on the social media which displayed a vehicle with rotational number plates.

“The vehicle number plates on display are KUJ-304BV, while the other side which was automatically flipped carries a number tagged Presidency with the following details, 01B-266FG.

“The FRSC Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu, has ordered full investigation into the trend as the FRSC does not produce a number plate with such double features, only one number can be assigned to one vehicle and its owner at the same time.”

It recalled that recently the FRSC placed a public notice in the national dailies dissuading Nigerians and the motoring public from according regard to vehicles with unauthorised number plates as the users are not duly registered and often with sinister motives.

The Acting Corps Marshal warned Nigerians against replicating such unregistered numbers, stressing that it remained a criminal act.
