The Ogun State Police Command has commenced a statewide enforcement crackdown on vehicles operating with covered, obscured, defaced, concealed, unauthorised or no registration number plates, in a move aimed at strengthening security and curbing criminal activities across the state.
The command said the exercise is being carried out in compliance with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police and is designed to enhance public safety by denying criminal elements the anonymity often exploited in the commission of crimes.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, directed all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Tactical Team Commanders to impound offending vehicles and conduct thorough investigations in accordance with extant laws.
According to the statement, the enforcement also covers vehicles displaying fake, improperly issued, altered or otherwise unauthorised registration number plates.
