\nOn Wednesday, TouchPH published an article \u201cDifficult times for Motorists in Port Harcourt, as FRSC and RIRS Begin Clamp Down of Offenders.\u201d touchph.com\/diffficult-times-motorists-port-harcourt-frsc-rirs-begin-clamp-offenders\/<\/a>The article intended to inform the public on the Road Safety and Traffic regulations that were being enforced in Port Harcourt. The article also meant to share the account of those who have encountered FRSC, RIRS or VIO Officials.<\/span><\/span>To further the later purpose, here is an account of the experience a TouchPH follower shared with us after reading the article.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been in the hands of those \u2018robbers\u2019 posing as FRSC, NPF and VIO officials. Those guys make laws on the spot and force it down your throat.<\/p>\n

\u200bIf you are driving a jeep, they immediately have a \u2018hard on\u2019 for you because they know you would \u2018settle\u2019 since you don\u2019t want the embarrassment.<\/p>\n

All my particulars, tyres [mine are 2012], extinguisher, were OK. After checking my spare tyre which was properly inflated, the man said my spare tyre has expired [The tire is 2012]. I told him that is not possible, tyres are supposed to be used for 4 years and this is still 2016. He started shouting, asking if I wanted to teach him his job. Hearing this, his colleagues came to back him up. Before I knew it, a fine of N25,000 was imposed on me out of the blues.<\/p>\n

While all this was going on, another jeep that had the proper tint permit was being charged N40,000. According to the official, [quoting him verbatim] \u201cthe permit is fake\u201d that he should \u201cgo to the police station to obtain the real one\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, \u2018the real one\u2019 he was referring to is the one the police have not issued yet! I know because I applied since April and they haven\u2019t sent me an email or SMS to come and capture. I went to the police headquarters at Moscow road last month to check the status of my tinted glass permit application and they told me I will be contacted. So what were the VIO Officials talking about?<\/p>\n

Suffice it to say, they took me to VIO office at Marine Base where I was made to part with the aforementioned sum of money. Now, is this the way to collect revenue? Please you guys should paint the picture exactly as it is. If you drive in Port Harcourt and you come across those \u2018thieves\u2019 on the road, I bet you, they will leave a bad taste in your mouth too.\u201d<\/p>\n
