The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is cracking down on fake diplomatic and unauthorized plate numbers in Nigeria. They’ve identified several fake plate numbers, including Diplomatic Number Plates, NYCN, Peace Ambassador, NAUS, CYMS, UN-Unity 01, UN-AMB, and NANS, which are not produced by the FRSC’s official plants or issued by state motor licensing authorities .
To address this issue, the FRSC has launched a nationwide tactical enforcement operation across all its formations. Vehicles found using these unauthorized plates will be impounded, and their owners will face prosecution. The FRSC will also collaborate with other security agencies to track down and shut down the sources of these fake plates, ensuring that both producers and users are held accountable .
If you’re concerned about the legitimacy of your plate number or know someone who’s using a fake one, here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Unauthorized Plate Numbers: Diplomatic Number Plates, NYCN, Peace Ambassador, NAUS, CYMS, UN-Unity 01, UN-AMB, and NANS .
- Consequences: Vehicles using fake plates will be impounded, and owners will face prosecution .
- Reporting Fake Plates: If you spot a vehicle using a fake plate, report it to the FRSC or other law enforcement agencies .
Stay safe on Nigerian roads, and remember to verify the authenticity of your vehicle’s plate number!
