FRSC TO PERSONALIZE NUMBER PLATES

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is planning to personalize vehicle number plates to help track offenders. This was announced on Monday by the The Sector Commander of the Corps(FRSC), in Niger, Mr David Usman.He said when operational, the owner of the vehicle would own the number plate not the vehicle.

If you decide to sell your vehicle at any time, you detach your number plate from the vehicle and keep it. When you have a new vehicle, you register it with the number. The implication of the new system is that when you have a registered vehicle in your name, you don’t give your vehicle to people you can’t vouch for and  if you decide to sell your vehicle without removing the number plate, any offense committed by the new owner would be counted against you, the former owner.

Meanwhile, they just introduced a new plate number oo. So, do you think this will really reduce crime rate?

Anti-America demonstrators, yesterday marched across some parts of Kano State capital to protest the production of an anti- Muslim film in the United States. The protest march which was generally peaceful, started off in the morning hours but terminated just at about midday, with protesters chanting anti – American slogans. The protesters burnt American flags and torched effigies of the US president, Barrack Obama. They were later addressed by the leader of the Shitte Sect in Kano State, Sheik Mohammed Turi. He expressed anger and profound bitterness over the anti -Muslim film produced in America and held that the American government ought to have enacted laws to protect the values of other people.

The movie led to the attack on the U.S consulate in Libya that resulted in the death of the U.S Ambassador to Libya and four other Americans. President Obama has however condemned the movie and the man behind it has been arrested.
