Eko Hot Blog reports that this is contrary to international best practices, according to a statement made available to journalists and signed by the Command’s public relations officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi.
It was reported that security personnel found it challenging to determine the registration number of such automobiles due to the propensity of people to cover their license plates with stickers of their respective political parties.
“Every vehicle needs to have a number plate to identify it, thus anyone who covers one is likely planning to do something illegal.
“The Command is hereby using this medium to warn those involved in this practice to desist from it henceforth as standing order has been given to area commanders and DPOs to clamp down on such violators.
“There is nowhere in the road traffic act, where the sticker of a political party or any other sticker is allowed to be used in place of number plates. Therefore, anybody caught in such act will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“To be warned is to be armed,” the statement read in part.
