OWERRI — The Imo State Police Command has impounded more than 25 vehicles found with covered, obscured or missing registration plate numbers as part of an enforcement campaign aimed at improving public safety and tackling crime.
Commissioner of Police, Audu Garba Bosso, disclosed this while briefing journalists in Owerri, saying the exercise is in line with the enforcement of laws prohibiting the use of vehicles without clearly visible registration plates.
According to him, the operation is designed to strengthen intelligence gathering and deny criminals the anonymity often exploited in carrying out unlawful activities.
Bosso explained that the enforcement is backed by the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2012, which require every vehicle to display valid and visible registration plates.
