The Sector Commander of FRSC in Lagos, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Monday.NAN reports that the operation commenced on Oct. 4 through Oct. 10 simultaneously in all the units in Lagos State.
He said that some of the drivers who claimed to have forgotten their driver’s licence at home and offices were given opportunity to present their driver’s licences. He said that many of the drivers had been sent to mobile courts to serve as deterrent to others who were fond of driving without a driver’s licence.
He explained that all vehicles impounded would not be released until they show evidence of having the documents. For motorists who drive without vehicle licence, he stressed that Regulation 67 states that: “Any person driving a vehicle must be in possession of at least the photocopy of the vehicle particulars, and the original shall be provided to the appropriate authority within 24 hours, if demanded”.
