The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, has commenced enforcement of the ban on vehicles without registration number plates, as well as those using concealed, obscured, altered, defaced, or otherwise unreadable number plates, within Asaba and its environs.
The police say the exercise is part of efforts to strengthen public safety, enhance crime prevention, and improve vehicle identification for security.
Following the operation, 26 vehicles found to be operating in violation of extant vehicle registration regulations have been impounded.
The offending motorists were subsequently arraigned before a Mobile Court sitting in Asaba for the relevant offences.
Speaking during the exercise, Oyeniyi urged vehicle owners to comply with vehicle registration requirements and ensure the proper display of approved number plates.
He stressed that the enforcement is aimed at enhancing security and promoting compliance with the law.
Oyeniyi also warned that the Command would sustain the operation across Delta State and directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations to ensure strict compliance with the directive across all Area Commands, Divisions, and tactical formations.
