The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has asked former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and over 200 lawmakers who failed to return to the Senate and House of Representatives to return their official vehicle number plates.

The Corps had requested the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, to retrieve the vehicle identification plates from about 69 senators and 151 members of the House of Representatives who failed to return to the 9th National Assembly.

FRSC Public Education Officer, Corps Commander Bisi Kareem, confirmed this to newsmen in Abuja.

Forty-two of the senators lost out in October last year at their parties’ primaries, while others were defeated at the National Assembly elections.

Those expected to return their official vehicle number plates along with former Senate President are Godswill Akpabio (All Progressives Congress, Akwa Ibom West); Nazif Gamawa (PDP, Bauchi); Rafiu Ibrahim (PDP, Kwara South); Tayo Alasoadura (APC, Ondo Central) and Yele Omogunwa (Ondo South), among others.

The number plates were tied to a four-year tenure and would expire in June 2019.
