FRSC recovers two suspected stolen vehicles, hands suspects to police

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered two suspected stolen vehicles through the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) platform and handed over the suspects to the Nigerian Police.

This is contained in a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Osondu Ohaeri, made available on Wednesday in Abuja.

Ohaeri said that the first recovery was a suspected stolen Toyota Highlander, which was presented for verification at the NVIS New Benin Office by officials of the Edo Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) alongside a suspect.

He said that during the verification process, FRSC personnel observed discrepancies after the registration number KSF730GK was queried on the NVIS portal, adding that while the registration number appeared valid, it had not been assigned to any vehicle.

“Further verification using the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), immediately revealed a different registration number and ownership details, prompting a more detailed investigation.
