Police Begins Nationwide Altered Plate Crackdown
The Nigeria Police Force has started a nationwide enforcement operation targeting vehicles using covered, altered, defaced or unregistered number plates.
The exercise is aimed at improving security and reducing criminal activity linked to the use of hidden vehicle identities.
The operation is being carried out across different states, with officers directed to ensure strict compliance with registration rules.
Authorities say the move will make it harder for criminals to operate undetected on public roads.
Police officials noted that vehicles found with improper or missing number plates will be stopped and handled according to existing laws.
Motorists have also been urged to ensure their plates are clearly visible and properly fixed.
The police say the exercise is part of broader efforts to strengthen public safety and improve tracking of vehicles involved in unlawful activities.
