Court declares FRSC's new plate number illegal.

Federal Road Safety Commission’s threat to impound vehicles come October 1 will be yielding no effect, after a Federal High Court in Lagos this morning declared the new number plates illegal, saying it’s unconstitutional.

The judge said; that it was unlawful for the commission to impose the new number plates on Nigerians, where no existing law permitted it.

The suit was filed by Emmanuel Ofoegbu, a lawyer, against FRSC after they insisted every Nigerian must get the plate number, or have their vehicles impounded as from the 1^st of October, 2014.
