The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Friday said it recovered a total of 35 stolen vehicles across the country in the first half of 2025 alone.
This, it said, was a demonstration of its deep-rooted commitment to national security and public service delivery.
The remarkable feat, it noted, was achieved through the intelligence driven operations preconditioned by the deployment of the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) portal, a data-driven platform that continues to be pivotal in the fight against vehicle-related crimes.
Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, in a statement said that the recovered vehicles, which were stolen through armed robbery, abduction, and fraudulent tricking operations include; 24 Toyota vehicles, five Lexus, two Mercedes, one Ford Focus, one Daihatsu, one Pontiac Vibe, and one Toyota Sienna.
He said: “To ensure a seamless operation towards successful recovery of the stolen vehicles, the Corps collaborated with sister security agencies and state governments to trace and retrieve the vehicles from different parts of the country.”
Ogungbemide said the Corps Marshal who was highly delighted with the proactiveness of the Corps personnel involved in the tracking and recovery of the vehicles, commended them noting that the recoveries are a testament to the effectiveness of inter-agency synergy and technological integration in modern law enforcement.
He described the recoveries as a positive reflection of FRSC’s silent but consistent war against criminal elements who try to undermine public safety using stolen vehicles.
The public is admonished to sustain their faith as the Corps would continually remain focused on deepening its operational integrity, expanding data-based enforcement strategies, and reinforcing public confidence.
