FRSC recovers stolen vehicle in Anambra after 3 yrs

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it has recovered a vehicle at the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS), Desk Office in Nteje, Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra, three years after it was stolen.

Mrs Joyce Alexander, Sector Commander, FRSC, Anambra State Command, made the disclosure on Wednesday in Awka.

She said that the recovery of the stolen vehicle followed collaborative efforts of the corps and other security agencies.

According to Alexander, the vehicle was discovered after an agent of the Board of Internal Revenue sent vehicle information for verification, which revealed that the vehicle had been missing for some time.

“Upon verification, the owner was contacted and confirmed that she had not seen the vehicle in three years.

“The owner provided original documents to prove ownership, and the Police from the Anambra state Command were immediately called in to take further action.

“The Command is working to ensure that the vehicle is returned to its rightful owner,” she said.

The Sector Commander described the feat as a testament to the effectiveness of the Corps’ NVIS database.

“We urge all vehicle owners to ensure that their number plates are uploaded into the NVIS portal for ease of tracking and identification.

“This will enable us to respond promptly to stolen vehicle reports and recover them quickly.

“The Command remains committed to enhancing road safety and security in Anambra through use of technology and collaboration with other security agencies,”Alexander said.
