Check ! That your Number Plate might be fake.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OWN A CAR OR DESIRE TO OWN ONE…
Start from this car owner’s experience.
“It was on the 14th day of March that I drove into one of the police stations to obtain the new tinted glass permit, in the process, it was discovered that the number plate of my car is being used by another car. My first question is ‘How is it possible?’ I had obtained this number from FRSC with all documents intact. I never know the car is going to stay for 12 days in the station. A file was quickly opened and the car became an exhibit. Thank God the car was registered by a very high ranking officer of the FRSC who was brought to the station. As the investigation was going on, it was discovered that some people were producing these fake and duplicate number plates and giving out to innocent and unsuspicious Nigerian ripping them off their hard earned money.
My question is, should we now go and buy these numbers at a shop in Alaba or at idumota instead of the federal government approved agencies? In the course of my research, I stumbled upon the number plate verification system online. I started verifying cars of friends, church members and even cars that I see on the road. A shocking revelation was made that OUT OF EVERY 10 CARS you see on the road with LAGOS and ABUJA number plates, that at least 4 of them are FAKE.”
