Nigeria Motorists should ignore many bloggers making the news that VIOs have been banned in all the States. This is completely false and should be ignored for harmonous relationship between motorists and enforcement officers (VIOs) in the 36 States of Nigeria. That court judgement they are referring to did not say under Nigeria law but under FCT Law, stating that the DRTS FCT being the defendant in the suit did not have any law empowering them the VIO to be on the road. This is specifically for FCT as we don't have Nigeria VIO as a body like the FRSC. Bloggers should stop deceiving Nigerians to believe that other 36 State VIOs have been banned as a result of the FCT court judgement. That judgement starts and stops within FCT jurisdiction. Save yourself from trouble by complying with road traffic and safety rules to have peaceful drive on Federal and State roads.
