The driver, identified as Ekpe Okpo Ekpeyong, had on Tuesday stripped naked when some officials of the FRSC demanded his vehicle particulars along the busy Marian Road.

Ikechukwu Igwe, the sector commander said the command had gone through its database to establish the authenticity of Ekpeyong’s driving licence and vehicle particulars and discovered that they were not genuine.

Igwe said the driver would first be taken to the psychiatric hospital in Calabar to establish his mental state before further prosecution.

He said: “His driving licence and vehicle particulars are not genuine. We will take him to the psychiatric hospital here in Calabar to find out if he is a normal person because no person in his right senses will strip just anyhow.” 

Cases of commercial drivers stripping naked to avoid arrest is not new as there have been cases of such incidents across the country. Ekpeyong’s case comes three weeks after a bus driver in Lagos state went naked to protest against LASTMA officials’ decision to tow away his bus.
