The Ogun State Command has warned politicians against covering their vehicles’ number plates with the stickers of their various political parties, noting that the practice is making it difficult for security agents to identify the registration number of such vehicles.
The Command in a statement by its spokesperson, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the practice is inconsistent with the best practices all over the world, and it’s not going to be tolerated here in Ogun State.
SP Oyeyemi further noted that every vehicle needs to be identified with its number plate, and for anybody to cover such number plates means that the person is having criminal intentions.
“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 activities will be dealt with in accordance with the law. To be warned is to be armed”.
