He highlighted that unregistered vehicles pose significant challenges to law enforcement, particularly in identifying and tracking stolen vehicles or those involved in criminal activities.

During the enforcement exercise, a fake dealer number plate was discovered on one of the impounded vehicles. Mr. Osiyemi noted that investigations are ongoing to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for issuing the fraudulent plate.

The Commissioner urged all motorists to comply with the state’s traffic regulations, stating, “Compliance would enable the government to fulfil its mission of ensuring a safe and secure environment for all road users.”
