The body responsible for the registration of vehicles in Ghana, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has issued a disclaimer saying the number plate on the Range Rover belonging to Nana Aba Anamoah is fake.
Mr Prince Opoku Edusei, Deputy Chief Executive of DVLA says the number plate on the black Range Rover was not authorised by his outfit.
He says the only vehicle meant to bear the registration number, GR 2050-20 is that of a Nissan Rogue and not aRange Rover.
Speaking in an interview, to clarify the issue of duplicated number plates in the country, he said; “They say in every situation there’s only the truth and the lie. There’s no way DVLA will register two vehicles with the same number. We’ve conducted our own investigations and realised that the vehicle that bears that number, one of them which is the black Range Rover is not a registered vehicle in this country.
So the number on the vehicle is not authorised or issued by the DVLA. The rogue is in our system and duly registered and so that is the number that has been assigned. So obviously the range rover is not registered. We don’t have such in our system.”
He went on to add that, the issue has been handed to the Ghana Police Service to begin investigations to bring to book all culprits behind it.
“We’ve requested the police to go into it. We have done our own in house investigations and we’ve realised that that is not legally licensed vehicle so we’ve asked for further investigations and I’m sure that another statement will come out to that effect to know what the DVLA is doing about it.”
The Deputy DVLA boss, therefore, advised the ace broadcast journalist to visit their office to register the vehicle or face legal actions.
