One chance: FCTA impounds over 700 tinted vehicles

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it has impounded over 700 vehicles with tinted glasses without permits, fake number plates and other traffic violations.

The FCTA Director, Department of Security Service, Adamu Gwary, disclosed this during a ‘Stop and Search’ operation, at the Apo – Wassa junction and Karu axis of Abuja.

Gwary, who was represented by the Secretary, Command and Control Centre, Dr Peter Olumuji, noted that the measure was geared toward curbing incidences of ‘one- chance syndrome’ in the FCT.

According to him, the exercise is part of the second phase of ‘Operation Sweep Abuja Clean’, a multi-agency crime prevention initiative.

He said that the joint taskforce operation had helped in recovering seven stolen vehicles within the last one week. (NAN)
