NSMVAA/VIO OFFICER'S ON OPERATION
The attention of the Niger State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (NSMVAA/VIO) has been drawn to a publication by *Capacity Media Trust* alleging that an officer of the Agency pushed a pregnant woman and her husband from a motorcycle in Minna, resulting in injuries.
2. The Agency’s preliminary investigation revealed that the rider, after being unable to provide the relevant motorcycle documents( Rider's card & Papers) when requested from him, attempted to forcefully drive to run away from the scene. This action reportedly resulted in the motorcycle losing control and subsequently led to the accident.
3. However, the Agency takes allegations of unethical conduct involving its personnel very seriously. The incident is therefore currently being investigated by the agency.
4. NSMVAA/VIO remains committed to professionalism, discipline, road safety and the protection of all road users. Should the assessment establish that any officer acted outside the law or the Agency's approved operational procedures, appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. The Agency will continue to ensure that all complaints are handled fairly, responsibly and in accordance with due process.
