The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered a Toyota Corolla suspected to have been stolen during a kidnapping incident on January 23, 2023 in Anambra State.
The recovery took place at the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) Desk Office, Nnewi, following a detailed verification process that revealed discrepancies in the vehicle’s chassis number. The rightful owner, Mr. Onyechi Dickson Eze of Awka, confirmed the car was forcefully taken from him.
A coordinated inter-agency operation involving the FRSC, Nigeria Police Force Area Command Nnewi, and Motor Licensing Authority (MLA) Ojoto led to the apprehension of the agent who facilitated fraudulent documentation and the vehicle’s applicant. The vehicle is now in custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Nnewi, for further investigation.
