In a decisive move to enhance security and order within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the Commissioner of Police (CP) has issued an immediate directive for the arrest of all vehicles operating without proper plate numbers. This announcement was made earlier today, emphasizing the critical importance of compliance with vehicle registration regulations.
The directive comes in response to growing concerns about the use of unregistered vehicles for criminal activities, posing significant risks to public safety. By targeting vehicles without plate numbers, the FCT Police Command aims to curb such illegal activities and ensure a safer environment for residents and visitors of Abuja.
In a public statement, the CP highlighted the need for strict enforcement of this directive, instructing all police units and traffic officers within the capital city to be vigilant and proactive in identifying and apprehending offenders. The CP also warned that violators would face severe penalties in accordance with the law.
Residents and motorists are urged to ensure their vehicles are properly registered and display valid plate numbers at all times. The police have set up checkpoints and increased patrols across key areas in the city to enforce this directive effectively.
The move has been met with mixed reactions from the public. While many commend the CP’s efforts to improve security, some express concerns about the potential for harassment and inconvenience during the enforcement process. The FCT Police Command has assured the public that measures are in place to carry out the directive fairly and without unnecessary disruptions.
As the crackdown begins, the FCT Police Command remains committed to maintaining law and order, urging the cooperation of all citizens in achieving a safer and more secure Abuja.
In an effort to facilitate compliance, the police have also provided guidelines on how to register vehicles and obtain valid plate numbers. They encourage vehicle owners to visit designated registration centers promptly to avoid penalties.
This initiative underscores the FCT Police Command’s ongoing dedication to addressing security challenges and upholding the rule of law, fostering a secure environment for all Abuja residents.
