FCTA Seizes More than 20 Vehicles Due to Insecurity

The FCTA has seized more than 20 vehicles due to the recent rise in security concerns in the capital.

In addition to this, the administration has provided guidelines on how private car owners can utilize their vehicles for taxi services without the need to paint them.

This goes against the common belief that only painted taxis are allowed to operate legally in the city.

Those interested in using their cars for commercial purposes must follow specific procedures, including registering their vehicles with the appropriate authorities and obtaining unique identification and vehicle plate numbers.

Deborah Osho, the Head of Operations at the FCT Directorate of Road Traffic Service (DRTS), made these statements during a crackdown on unauthorized taxi operators in Abuja.

Osho revealed that around twenty vehicles were confiscated during the operation, which targeted areas such as Area 3, Apo Interchange, and the Three Arms Zone.

She warned that drivers found in violation of the regulations would be prosecuted in mobile court proceedings.
