The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, has commended the bold step of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali, on the total ban of spy number plates in Nigeria.

Oyeyemi also directed commanding officers of the Corps across the nation to join hands with the Police Force to enforce the order.
In a statement by Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, Oyeyemi also directed the commanding officers to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the enforcement of this very order.
According to him, road users who also parade faded number plates should endeavour to replace them with new ones to avoid impounding their vehicles.
He further ordered full force and immediate impoundment of private vehicles that are using commercial number plates
Oyeyemi reiterated the implications of the continuous use of faded and other unauthorised vehicle number plates to national security.
“The use of the spy and other unauthorised number plates to continually violate traffic rules and regulations must be brought to a halt, hence the directive given to commanding officers to brace up and ensure that they give adequate priority to the enforcement”, Oyeyemi said in the statement.
