Abutu said, “The CP has already deployed his officers and men across the state to apprehend and prosecute offenders.”

He stated that the force had “observed with dismay the way and manner some people cover their plate numbers against the laid down Road Traffic Act, use unauthorized and illegal siren and revolving light.

“Undoubtedly, this, in recent time, has pulled a great threat to the security of the state as some criminal elements hide under these guises to carry out their criminal intentions.”
