The Kano State Police Command has arrested 123 motorists for allegedly driving vehicles without registration plates or with concealed number plates as part of its ongoing Operation Clean Plate aimed at tackling criminal activities across the state.
The command also disclosed the arrest of a 51-year-old suspect during the enforcement exercise, with a pistol, cannabis sativa, a knife, electric wires, 120 lithium batteries and a suspected stolen vehicle recovered from him.
The Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, disclosed this on Monday while briefing journalists at the command headquarters, Bompai, Kano.
Bakori said the operation was launched to address the use of vehicles without proper identification, which he described as a tactic allegedly used by criminals to conceal their identity and evade security checks.
He said the command had intercepted the vehicles across various local government areas of the state since the commencement of the operation and that all drivers had been charged to court.
