В Абудже сотрудники ФРСК изыскали похищенный автомобиль Hyundai и передали его полиции

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered a stolen Hyundai vehicle in Abuja and handed it over to the police for further investigation. The Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Osondu Ohaeri, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Monday in Abuja. Ohaeri said the vehicle was recovered on Sept. 1 by the RS7.1 Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Sector Command Tow Truck Team. He said the red Hyundai, with registration number YAB 789 AM, was recovered at Wuye, along the expressway leading to Area 1. According to him, a document found inside the vehicle provided a lead that enabled the team to trace and contact the owner. Ohaeri said the RS7.1 Sector Commander, Corps Commander Tijjani Iliyasu, subsequently activated the inter agency process for the vehicle’s handover to the police. He said DCC Sabitu Abdu, Deputy Corps Commander, Operations, handed over the vehicle to CSP Nimyel Ponfa, Divisional Police Officer, Wuse Division. He said Ponfa received the vehicle on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command. Ohaeri quoted the FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, as saying the recovery underscored the importance of technology, vigilance and collaboration in protecting lives and property. Mohammed said the corps would continue to strengthen its vehicle identification and intelligence capabilities. He said it would also maintain collaboration with the police and other security agencies when necessary. According to him, the development is consistent with efforts to reposition the FRSC as a technologically driven, responsive and security conscious institution. He said the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) had become an important tool for vehicle verification and national security operations. “Under the current administration, 81 stolen vehicles have been recovered through the NVIS Portal, demonstrating the security value of the Corps’ vehicle information architecture,” he said. Mohammed said the FRSC’s mandate to save lives on Nigerian roads was linked to ensuring that the road environment remained safe, secure and properly regulated. He said the corps would continue to deploy technology, field operations, intelligence and strategic partnerships to identify suspicious vehicles and support investigations. He commended the team for its vigilance and professionalism and appreciated the FCT Police Command for its cooperation. The Corps Marshal assured the public that such collaboration would remain central to the FRSC’s commitment to safer roads, safer vehicles and a more secure Nigeria. ( NAN ).
