Federal Capital Territory Directorate of Road Traffic Services (VIO) says pasting “For Sale” sticker on moving vehicles as a way of marketing was illegal and a violation of the law.

Mr Kalu Emetu, the directorate’s Public Relations Officer made this known in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, on Sunday.

Emetu said that such act was a violation of the FCT Administration’s transportation master plan.

He noted that a lot of vehicles had been impounded for violating the law; and warned car owners to use proper channels of marketing their vehicles.

He also said that it was illegal for any vehicle owner to market their vehicles in unauthorised car marts in the FCT.



“We have been impounding vehicles because it is illegal to be marketing your vehicle inside the city without authorisation, once you put up any car for sale, it is meant to be at the right place.

“Once you put any car for sale, you pay for advertising, and other fees, so if you have a vehicle for sale, arrange with an authorised car dealer to help you sell it,” he said.

The PRO said that once vehicles in an illegal car mart were impounded, a certain fine would be paid on each, depending on the type, before they are released.

According to him, the fine ranges from N50, 000 to N25, 000 adding that the vehicles will also be towed to their office for safekeeping pending the time the owner pays the fine.

“When we get the fine from you, you will have to write an undertaking that you will not repeat such act again when all these are done, your vehicle will then be released,” he said.



He, however, said if the offence was repeated even after paying the fine, the car owner would be re-arrested and be made to pay another fine.

Emetu said the fine was another way of generating revenue for the government.

What a dumb law. This is law only serves to put money dealers pockets. This law should be changed. If the government wants to charge fees just do it after title changes hands.

This is how it is done in a sane society.
We can't be clamouring for a better nation and still want to be doing things in the illegal way.
Nigeria will be GREAT again.
Slow and steady we will get there.

A lot of criminals on disguise

May be some car dealers are tipping the man. Even in the Western world, it is allowed.

People in power always with misplaced priority

Does it matter

There will be a point in time that both laws and corruption will chock our leaders. That period they would look for what to say to make money, only to realize it had already been stated.

Bro, nah another means of getting from public be this. Cash & carry dey happen for everywhere around the world. Nah Condition dey make most people sell their car. Make them cum still dey pay one charges again, is that a loss or gain?

But this nogeria government can be very funny. It is a duty to explicitly state the law that countrrs such action. Even our govt are violating their positions.
