Biu said FRSC does not produce a number plate with such double features, adding that only one number could be assigned to one vehicle and its owner at the same time.

“FRSC recently placed a public notice on the mainstream media dissuading Nigerians and the motoring public from according regards to vehicles with unauthorised number plates.

“The users are not duly registered and are often with sinister motives,” he said.

The Acting Corps Marshal urged the general public to shun the video and urged the media to dissuade Nigerians from replicating same, stressing that it was a criminal act.
