LAGOS, Nigeria – The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has denied being behind the production and issuance of vehicle plate number bearing ‘CHIP WHIP’ instead of Chief Whip, which has gone viral on the social media.
Chief Whip, according to Wikipedia is a political office in some legislatures whose task is to administer the whipping system that tries to ensure that members of the party attend and vote as the party leadership desires.
A statement issued by the FRSC Public Relations Officer, Bisi Kassim, said neither did the number plate originate from any of the FRSC Number Plate production centres, nor was it issued by the Corps.
According to the statement the Corps Marshal General, Boboye Oyeyemi, has also ordered the Sector Commander of Kano State to investigate the origin of the purported number plate with a view to bringing the perpetrators of the illegal act to book.
All field commands across the country have also been told to be vigilant and clampdown on producers and issuers of fake number plates.
To this end, the FRSC called on members of the public to immediately report any act of such illegality against all its security documents, while assuring of the competence and diligence of the Corps in carrying out all its assignments geared towards ensuring safer road environments for safety and security of all Nigerians.
