Sad Experience With VIO Today by wordychap: 7:06pm On Sep 17, 2021 |
On my way back from work, driving on a highway, I noticed two cars reversing. This is usually a sign of FRSC officers ahead but i couldn't see any so I trottled on. A short distance ahead I sighted a police van then I came on VIO checking. I was told to pa4k which i did and the checks started. They checked my tyres then went to my papers. The lad then said my papers look suspicious and went ahead to send my plate number to his office to authenticate my papers. After a delay of close to an hour, hia affice called and he told me the data they have with them shows my papers ought to have expired in february 2021 but what i had with me is to expire in february 2022. Arguments ensued and I was told the fine is 50k. I have a lot to do with the car next week and besides children's school's resuming so i couldn't allow them take the cqr to their office. To cut a long story short, I parted with 40k to the lad and gave him 10k to get me authentic papers by monday next week. The said 'fame papers' was issued to me at Board of Internal Revenue office in Uyo, Akwa Ibom Stage, where one is to renew his papers. I actually got there and gave a lady i was introduced to the money and she went ahead to make payments- as i assumed, and gave me the papers. If a government agency can issue fake papers and a sister agency collect penalties what's the hope for Nigeria? Honestly i don't think i can let this slide i have to pursue this matter, only wish i can vividly recognise the lady that got me the papers at BIR. This is my worst experience on the road so far and ita happened when i need money. Sad! 87 Likes 5 Shares |

LoL, they just chop you 40k for nothing. Except your papers are fake, I see no reason why you should part with your hard earned money by the roadside 204 Likes 5 Shares |

You must have at some point compromised.. I see no reason why u should part with such amount if u are sure of the licensing officer that did the paper for you.fake documents are always cheaper 66 Likes 1 Share |

You saw cars reversing and you didn't follow them to do so? What if there was armed robbers ahead on the ambush?? Driving is all about being alert to the going ons in your surroundings..Next time you see people running away,driving away or reversing away from a particular direction, pls follow suit.. 182 Likes 16 Shares |

![]() Sorry for the bitter experience. Truth is that this shit happens to many people almost on daily basis. If you have the time, follow up the issue and they will beg you to take back your money to avoid being exposed. Even the person that did the papers must refund the money, if only you have the time. 6 Likes |

wordychap: Which state number plate are you having?. Usually your papers can be verified online by yourself. And secondly when renewing here they send auto reg sms even for insurance too. 1 Like |

At op. sorry for the loss of money. This is Nigeria where a traffic officer or local government official would tell you to pass one way by lying that there is road construction on the right way to pass. Only for his other colleagues in hiding to pounce on you after driving for 500m on that same one way road. 35 Likes 1 Share |

You be JJC. Never allow a Nigerian officer win an argument over you. Na you go lose. You have money. If you no hold bar you wouldn't dash thieves 40k plus 10k. You giving someone you don't personally know money to make car documents for you is kinda a novice move. You no grow for Naija? Every Nigeria has trust issues inborn. ![]() 62 Likes 7 Shares |
