The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, said it has recovered 35 stolen vehicles across the country in the first half of 2025 alone.
According to a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the success is largely attributed to the FRSC's intelligence-driven operations, particularly the strategic deployment of the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) portal.
This data-driven platform continues to prove instrumental in the ongoing fight against vehicle-related crimes in Nigeria.
The recovered vehicles, which were stolen through various criminal acts including armed robbery, abduction, and fraudulent schemes, comprise: 24 Toyota vehicles, 5 Lexus, 2 Mercedes, 1 Ford Focus, 1 Daihatsu, 1 Pontiac Vibe, and 1 Toyota Sienna.
To ensure the seamless recovery of these vehicles, the FRSC actively collaborated with sister security agencies and state governments, working together to trace and retrieve the stolen assets from different parts of the nation.
The FRSC also took the opportunity to reiterate its call for Nigerians to continue partnering with the Corps.
The public is strongly advised to utilise the NVIS portal to verify vehicle details before making a purchase and to report any suspicious vehicle registrations.
The FRSC stressed that public trust and collaboration are vital to the successful fulfillment of its mandate.
