The Ogun State Police Command has reactivated Operation VELVET across the state’s 20 Local Government Areas as part of intensified efforts to enforce traffic regulations, improve road safety and ensure the free flow of vehicular movement on major highways.
The operation, directed by the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, targets traffic violations that endanger motorists and other road users, as well as those that create security vulnerabilities along major transit corridors.
According to the command in a statement posted on X on Thursday, the enforcement will target one-way driving, reckless and dangerous driving, unauthorised use of emergency sirens, and vehicles with missing, altered or covered registration plates.
Other offences targeted include driving without a valid licence, vehicular overloading and indiscriminate parking that obstructs the free flow of traffic.
The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, Bode Ojajuni, directed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and heads of operational units to ensure effective implementation of the exercise across their respective areas.
