Nigerian Police, FRSC vows to go after producers of rotating Number Plates seen in this trending video.

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has vowed to investigate the source of a Nigerian registered custom number plate that rotates at the touch of a button, just like the one on James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger.
In a trending video shared by the police, a Toyota Highlander SUV was seen flipping the existing number plate to show another piece of number plate on the other side.
Nigerian Police vows to go after producers of rotating Number Plates seen in this trending video.
Quit amazing? Yes, Autojosh feels so and even the police even applauded the brain behind it but feels criminals could use this James Bondian trick to evade arrest.
“We have come across this video which has gone viral. This technology is good but very criminal in our Nigerian context and it should be condemned. Every vehicle in Nigeria must be registered and have a number, not many numbers.
“We will work with other relevant security agencies in this regard to curb proliferation and incessant use of fake or unregistered number, and even discourage the coverage of number plate with a leather cover, says Force PRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

“We urge Nigerians to reject this technology and use of fake numbers, as its criminal and punishable under the law.”, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi added.
