Following an Abuja high court judgement which ruled that the ‘Park and Pay’ scheme operated by the Federal Capital Territory Administration , FCTA is illegal, FCT officials backed by a team of soldiers yesterday in Abuja brutalized motorists and marked their windshields with red paint for alleged wrong parking.

According to DAILY TRUST, most victims and members of the public were shocked that the cars that were so marked were parked at locations provided for the ‘Park and Pay’ scheme.

The notice on the marked vehicles 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.

The officials and soldiers also assaulted residents who tried to take photos of the brutality.
