Federal Road Safety Commission’s threat to impound vehicles
come October 1 might not just happen any more, after a Federal High Court in Lagos this
morning declared the new number plates illegal, saying it’s
unconstitutional.
The judge said; that it was unlawful for the commission to
impose the new number plates on Nigerians, where no existing law permitted it.
The suit was filed by Emmanuel Ofoegbu, a lawyer, against
FRSC after they insisted every Nigerian must get the plate number, or have
their vehicles impounded as from the 1st of October, 2014.
