A man has criticised Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) in Asaba, Delta State, after drawing attention to the poor condition of their official vehicle.
In a video shared on X on Monday by a user identified as DammieDammie, the man questioned why the officers were stopping motorists for vehicle defects when their own vehicle allegedly had similar problems.
He pointed out that the officers’ vehicle had badly worn-out tyres and missing wheel nuts, despite their responsibility to enforce roadworthiness regulations.
In the video, he expressed surprise that the officers were apprehending motorists over missing wheel nuts when their own vehicle appeared to have the same problem.

He also drew attention to what appeared to be a missing or faulty front headlight on the vehicle.
Sharing the footage, DammieDammie also questioned the officers’ actions, noting that their vehicle’s condition contradicted the standards they expected other motorists to maintain.
The incident has renewed concerns about the need for VIO officials to ensure their official vehicles meet road safety requirements before enforcing the same regulations on other road users.
