The Anambra State Police Command says it will start to impound all vehicles illegally using spy number plates, sirens, revolving lights or covered number plates. A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Command, Mr Haruna Mohammed said “such acts, if left unchecked, could worsen the security situation in the State.”
He said this was in line with the directive given by the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu.
“In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner of Police, CP John B. Abang, has ordered with immediate effect to impound all vehicles illegally using SPY or covered number plates and revolving lights in the State. Anyone found violating such order would also be arrested and prosecuted.”
The PPRO announced that a task force has been put in place by the command to enforce the directive of the IGP.
