To address issues with unvalidated vehicle particulars, the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) has inaugurated a special task force to tackle fake license plates and registration irregularities.
This was disclosed on Wednesday in a notice titled “Routine Enforcement Exercise on Motor Vehicle Particulars, Old/Fake Number Plates, Fake and Expired Vehicle Particulars, and Driver’s License.”
The enforcement exercise is scheduled to take place from 18 November to 30th, advising drivers of buses, taxis, tricycles (keke), and trucks to take note.
The task force will target both private and commercial drivers.
“The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service wishes to inform the general public that the Service has constituted a special task force for the enforcement of motor vehicle particulars, old/fake number plates, and commercial vehicle sticker registration,” the notice stated.
The notice further specified that the task force will focus on old and fake number plates, fake and expired vehicle particulars, driver’s licenses, and commercial vehicles without stickers.
The team includes the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kaduna Traffic Law Enforcement Authority (KASTLEA), and others, with operations planned in the Northern Kaduna Senatorial District, Kaduna Central Senatorial District, and Southern Kaduna Senatorial District.
The Executive Chairman expressed appreciation and urged motorists to use the official website, www.paykaduna.com, or visit KADIRS offices across the state for vehicle particulars renewal, sticker registration, and other related services.
