The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has said that vehicle number plates bearing `Peace Ambassador’ are illegal.
Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the commission, disclosed this on Thursday while declaring open a workshop for Motor Licencing Authority Officials.
“ We have ordered that any Peace Ambassador number plate seen on a vehicle, such vehicle should be impounded because it is a fake number plate.
“The number plates do not go through the normal registration process, so anybody that has such a number plate should know that it is an illegal one; it is not authorised; it is fake and it is criminal,“ Oyeyemi said.
He said the FRSC had discovered that such number plates were sold at exorbitant fees to prominent persons to the tune of between N150, 000 and N200,000.
“The Peace Ambassador number plate is illegal, the corps has not produced Ambassador number plate for anybody, likewise the states.
“So, I don’t know where they are getting those plates they are selling at a rate of between N150, 000 and N200,000; it is illegal, even the Special number plate is not up to that.
