ABUJA (CONVERSEER) – The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered 35 stolen vehicles across Nigeria in the first half of 2025, underscoring its adoption of technology to strengthen national security and improve public safety.
This feat was achieved through the Corps’ National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS) portal, a data-driven platform designed to track and recover stolen vehicles nationwide.
According to the FRSC, the recovered vehicles were stolen through armed robbery, abduction, and fraudulent schemes. The breakdown includes 24 Toyota vehicles, 5 Lexus, 2 Mercedes-Benz, 1 Ford Focus, 1 Daihatsu, 1 Pontiac Vibe, and 1 Toyota Sienna.
The Corps collaborated with other security agencies and state governments to trace and recover these vehicles nationwide.
