Motorists in Nigeria who resprayed their vehicles without approval are liable to spend six months in jail, says Aliyu Giwa, Assistant Force Public Relations Officer.
Mr Giwa disclosed this in a thread of tweets on Wednesday, saying vehicle owners must follow due process before respraying their vehicles or risk jail term.

Citing Part 2, Section 13 of the National Road Traffic Regulation 2012, Mr Giwa said, “Where the colour of a vehicle is to be changed, the owner shall apply for approval from the Authority in Form MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) 6 of Schedule 1 to these regulations and unless such an application is approved, the owner of the vehicle shall be restrained from changing the colour of the vehicle.”
Mr Giwa further explained that a new driver’s licence would be issued to reflect the new colour while the old one would be withdrawn from the vehicle owner, after an approval was granted.
