The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has directed all Commissioners of Police, Tactical Commanders, and Heads of Formations nationwide to intensify enforcement against vehicles operating without registration number plates.
The directive also covers vehicles with concealed, altered, defaced or otherwise obscured registration numbers.
The IGP issued the order during the monthly conference with strategic senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force at the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Peacekeeping Centre, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
He described the growing trend of vehicles without proper registration or with deliberately concealed plates as unlawful and a serious threat to public safety and national security.
Police Will Stop And Impound Offending Vehicles
The IGP said vehicle registration is critical for crime prevention, intelligence gathering and law enforcement.
He noted that criminal elements often exploit anonymous vehicles to commit offences and evade detection.
Consequently, all Police Commands have been directed to immediately start enforcement operations against offending vehicles across the country.
Any vehicle found without approved registration plates or with tampered registration details will be stopped, impounded and subjected to appropriate legal processes under extant laws.
The IGP urged all vehicle owners to comply with registration requirements and warned that there will be no preferential treatment in enforcement.
The Nigeria Police Force says it remains committed to strengthening public safety, supporting national security objectives and enforcing all lawful measures designed to prevent crime and protect citizens.
