This is contained in the DRTS statistics made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja by its Head of Public Relations and Enlightenment, Mr Kalu Emetu.

According to the statistics, the 3,712 commercial motorcycles impounded have been crushed while some of the vehicles were released to their owners after payment of fines and effecting necessary repairs.

He said that the directorate generated more than N127.541 million in 2023 from fines paid into government coffers by owners of the impounded vehicles and tricycles.

Emetu explained that motor vehicles impounded that were no longer road worthy were usually unbundled into scrap and handed over to their owners, to prevent them from being put back on the road.
