Dr. Boboye Oyetemi, Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has ordered the withdrawal of ‘Egboobala’ number plate.
In a statement on Thursday by Bisi Kazeem, spokesperson for the FRSC, said the word in Igbo language loosely translates to ‘Blood Money’
“The attention of the Federal Road Safety Corps has been drawn to a vehicle seen with a fancy number plate with the inscription ‘Egoobala’, an Igbo word that connotes blood money.
“This is to inform the public that the Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi has directed the immediate withdrawal of the number plate, having known the true meaning of the word in Igbo language.
“While assuring the public of the Corps commitment to safer roads, fuller lives, the motoring public should be assured of our commitment to ensure due diligence in all our processes and procedures in keeping with our corporate mandate towards effective service delivery.”
