A senior advocate had brought the scheme to Wike's attention, exposing a critical flaw in the system that allowed private consultants to siphon off government funds.

The scheme, which had been operating under the radar, highlighted a significant weakness in the system that enabled private individuals to pocket a substantial portion of revenues meant for the government.

Wike said he was unaware of the scheme's existence until a senior advocate reached out to him, reporting that people claiming to be from the Transport Secretariat were seizing cars.

Upon further investigation, Wike discovered that the secretariat had entered into agreements with consultants who took a staggering 80% of the revenue, leaving the FCT administration with a mere 20%.

The minister was adamant that the Park and Pay scheme's activities were illegal and assured that immediate action would be taken to dismantle the operation.

Wike emphasized that he would not have known about the scheme if the senior advocate had not brought it to his attention, highlighting the importance of whistleblowers in exposing corruption.
