A man has criticised Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) in Asaba, Delta State, for allegedly stopping motorists over vehicle defects while using an official vehicle with worn-out tyres and missing wheel nuts.

In a video shared on X on Monday by DammieDammie, the man pointed out the condition of the officers’ vehicle, questioning why they were enforcing roadworthiness standards they allegedly failed to meet.

“Look at them, they don’t have tyres. Their tyre is already worn out. No bolt here, and they are stopping people on the road that they don’t have bolt,” he said.

The footage also appeared to show a missing or defective front headlight on the vehicle.

DammieDammie, who shared the video, also alleged that some of the vehicle’s wheel nuts were missing.

The incident has renewed questions about the need for VIO officials to ensure that their own vehicles meet the roadworthiness standards they enforce on motorists.
