Park and Pay: FCDA, Soldiers Harass Motorists

Following the suspension of the Park and Pay scheme in Abuja, officials of the Federal Capital Development Authority, backed by a team of military men yesterday brutalised motorists and marked their windshields with red paint for alleged wrong parking, reports Daily Trust.

The report said that the victims and members of the public who witnessed the incidences were surprised as the cars marked were parked at locations provided for the ‘Park and Pay’ scheme.
The notice on the marked vehicles, it said, read, “You are advised to stop parking your vehicle at non-designated location(s) within the Federal Capital City failing which appropriate sanctions will be imposed on any defaulter.

There will be no compensation for defacement or damages to any vehicle in the course of enforcement.” 

It said all efforts to reach the Public relations officer of the Development Control Department, Mr Kalu Emetu, and the Secretary of the FCT Transport Secretariat Mr. Jonathan Ivoke, were futile.
