My vehicle has been parked since 2019 in my compound in Lagos because I traveled out. Came back last week and decided to renew its license and I was told I have an unpaid bill of 20k for being captured by traffic camera on 25/02/2022.

I was directed to go to Ojodu if I'm contesting it which I intend going tomorrow.

My question thus:
1. How did the car get captured when nobody had access to the said car because I'm with the ignition key?

Following this to see responses.

I was sent a message some weeks ago that I was captured by traffic camera in ikeja and asked to pay 20k. I went to Ikeja on the said day but did not beat any traffic lights.

I wonder what must have happened..

Ask to see their evidence when you visit Ojodu. It's either the vehicle beat the traffic light or the car was caught on the road with an expired licence.

Good luck.

Think hard and well.

Did you drive a vehicle with expired papers?

I went to Ojodu today, made my complaints and a picture of another car was shown with my number plate on it. I contested it and I was made to produce my proof of ownership certificate. And the issue was resolved peacefully.

But I keep wondering if it was a Photoshop

You have a criminal insider. The plates can easily be unscrewed and fitted on another car.

The road worthiness has expired. Could that be the reason?

Always check at intervals on this site https://payvis.ng/ Enter your number plates and it will show if you have any outstanding fines.

I didn't copy the link - I just clicked on the link in Grandmaster's post and it was flagged. Don't know why...

I don't trust any of those men in uniform, Police, LASTMA, VIO, FRSC etc. They can do anything to rob you. Meanwhile don't you think someone could use your plate number to move an unregistered car around?

Nobody used your number plate and for the sake of public awareness, the ANPR camera does capture wrong vehicles and for wrong offences, you will be notified via a registered phone number that your vehicle has been booked, what you have to do in case of wrong booking is to take your papers along to ojodu VIS HQ and contest the bill, they will do their checking and clear the bills at no extra fee, likewise if you renewed your road worthiness outside Lagos and you were booked for expired road worthiness, you can contest that also.

Greetings! I am in this at the moment. Just checked the online platform and I was booked for RWC. Meanwhile, I renewed it since July when I was in another state. Which way? Should I contest online? Thanks

If you contest online they won't reply or give you a feedback, the best way is to go to their ojodu office.

Ok. I have to visit then.

If you have a Lagos or Abuja plate number just be aware that there are many fakes out there. There might be as much as 3 other vehicles using the same number as yours driving and renewing registrations in different states in Nigeria.

The worst thing is that there is nothing anyone can do about it except one of you using the same number bites the bullet and goes for a fresh registration of plates and documentation.

It happened to me.

Why go to their office to contest it?
Why not sue?

There have been payments for wrongful charges, since some will not contest the charge.
If another car has my number/ number plate, the system should be harmonised. I shouldn't also be burdened with the cost of proving my innocence because of an unharmonised system.

Reversed fines, even without punitive charges to the Agency will help. It will balance out any high-handedness from any Agency, as personnel will be forced to accept similar cost responsibility.

Have you gone? Was it reolved?

Jamal64:

Nope! I have not been in Lagos since.

I've already paid the fine and got the certificate. Every whistle blower you employ should do their work right and not turn a noble job to a sordid business. The Church premises should not be a target on Sundays, to way lay worshippers who are already emburdened sufficiently with the woes of the present economic situation in Nigeria. Moreover, what's the essence of paying for a road worthiness, when the roads are not car worthy? Do we have conscience in this country at all? You know from the records that I paid, only to go and get the certificate and get inspected. After the inspection, still plying the unworthy roads. Let's have the fear of God for once in this country sir. If there are other ways for the community to be involved in the construction of these roads, let the government humbly come out instead of leaving the roads as eye sore and yet collect annual funds and tax. I'm not proud as a citizen of Nigeria with all these glorified mess.
