The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said it has obtained a court order to forfeit all abandoned vehicles and motorcycles within its premises in Benue.

The command’s spokesperson, Suleman Mohammed, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

“Interested owners of all the abandoned accidental and impounded motorcycles should visit the various formations of the Federal Road Safety Corps where his/her accidental and impounded motorcycle is kept for identification, documentation and reclaiming,” he said.

“Attend the Federal High Court to show cause why his accidental or impounded motorcycles or vehicle should not be forfeited permanently to the federal government through the Federal Road Safety Corps,” he added.

Mr Mohammed said the FRSC relied on its Establishment Act 2007 to obtain the interim order to forfeit all the abandoned accidental vehicles and motorcycles under their care in the state.
