VIDEO: Man calls out VIO officials for bad tyres

A man has called out Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) in Asaba, Delta State. He accused them of stopping drivers for vehicle issues while their own vehicle has similar problems.

In a video posted on X on Monday by DammieDammie, the man pointed to the officers' vehicle. He highlighted its worn-out tyres and missing wheel nuts.

“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.

He questioned why the officers were checking drivers for missing wheel nuts. He pointed out that their own vehicle had the same issues.

“Look at it. Their tyre is already worn out, but they are holding people on the road that they don’t have wheel nuts. Look at it. Their tyre is already worn out. No bolt here,” he added.

The video also shows that the officers’ vehicle has a missing or defective front headlight. This raises more questions about whether the vehicle is safe to drive.

Sharing the video, DammieDammie wrote, “VIO officers vehicle tyres have work out badly, some bolts are also missing in their tyres and yet they’re stopping people on the road for bad tyres.”

This incident highlights the need for vehicle inspection officers to ensure their own vehicles are in good shape. They should meet the same standards they expect from other drivers.
