Again, FRSC recovers 35 stolen vehicles via tech platform

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered a total of 35 stolen vehicles across the country in the first half of 2025 alone.

According to the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the feat was achieved through intelligence-driven operations preconditioned by the deployment of the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) portal, a data-driven platform that remains pivotal in the fight against vehicle-related crimes.

Ogungbemide further disclosed that the recovered vehicles, which were stolen through armed robbery, abduction, and fraudulent tricks, include 24 Toyota vehicles, five Lexus vehicles, two Mercedes vehicles, one Ford Focus, one Daihatsu, one Pontiac Vibe, and one Toyota Sienna.

“To ensure a seamless operation towards successful recovery of the stolen vehicles, the corps collaborated with sister security agencies and state governments to trace and retrieve the vehicles from different parts of the country.

“Expectedly, the corps Marshal, who was highly delighted with the proactiveness of the corps personnel involved in the tracking and recovery of the vehicles, commended them, noting that the recoveries are a testament to the effectiveness of inter-agency synergy and technological integration in modern law enforcement.

In addition, he emphasised that the corps is not only committed to road safety, but also to supporting national security through vehicle verification and traceability. He described the recoveries as a positive reflection of FRSC’s silent but consistent war against criminal elements who try to undermine public safety using stolen vehicles.

“The public is admonished to sustain their faith as the corps will continually remain focused on deepening its operational integrity, expanding data-based enforcement strategies, and reinforcing public confidence.”

He urged Nigerians to continue partnering with the corps by using the NVIS portal to verify vehicle details before purchase and report suspicious vehicle registrations. Public trust and collaboration remain vital to the success of the Corps’ mandate.

“You can also verify your number plate registration through the FRSC Mobile Application or visit the corps website www.frsc.gov.ng. he added.
