Please am wary of this development and I need clarification

The car you intend to buy is carrying fake plates, as the plates affixed to it was allocated to another car.

Thanks dear but why would that happen . Does it mean the car was not duly registered ab initio

Gbam.You got to be very careful.

Car is either not registered or was registered to bear different plates.
Ask for the complete papers and run a full check.

Please who know about cars being registered to use different plates

If a vehicle is allocated a new plate number can another vehicle legally use it

Its only dealers dat have full idea of plates,Firstly confirm if its de new plate number,if so ders hardly any cause for alarm cause most pple dont sell der old cars wit de new plate numbers attatched to dem,instead dey transfer de plate to another vehicle and forget to change it in de auto reg system,meaning de number plate on de system would still be bearing the details of de old car,for proper clarification,jst confirm on de system if de name of de person matches de name on de documents of de car he is selling to u,if it does den u hav noting to fear. Go ahead wit de purchase of de vehicle.

I lost my number plates when I repainted my car. Then I collected my friend's old number plates and fixed, pending when I will get a new one.

Op, it doesn't necessarily mean the car is a stolen one . But tell the seller to clear himself.

This is the controversy caused from the rivalry between FRSC and Lagos state licencing office.

They produce number plate independently and attimes there is coincidence in the generated number.

For example kja 112 ce can be assigned to a camry under Lagos state licencing and the same number generated by FRSC and assigned to honda accord.

You need to verify where the plate was assigned i.e roadsafety or Lagos state Licencing authority to know the ideal place for verification.
