FRSC disowns “Chip Whip” number plate, orders investigation – TheNigerialawyer

The Federal Road Safety Corps has disowned a misspelt customized
number plate, bearing “Chip Whip” instead of Chief Whip.

The misspelt number plate has caused a social media storm, with
many commenters blaming FRSC for allowing it to pass the rigours of
quality control.

The SUV is the official car of the Chief Whip of Kano House of
Assembly, Ayuba Durum.

But a statement by the spokesman for the corps, Bisi Kazeem,
said the number plate in question was not produced by FRSC.

“The attention of FRSC has been drawn to the above number plate
with wrong spelling of CHIP WHIP instead of CHIEF WHIP.

“We wish to inform the general public that this particular
number plate was not produced by FRSC and could not have been from
us as a lead agency of elites in traffic management, we are
therefore clarifying clearly of our not having anything to do with
the said plate as it is been insinuated in certain social media
platforms.

“Furthermore, the Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi has directed
the Sector Commander of Kano to investigate the origin of the
purported fake number plate and thereafter bring the perpetrators
to book while ordering all field commands to clampdown on fake
number plates,” Mr Kazeem added.
