The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Commissioner of Police, Tunji Disu, has ordered a crackdown on vehicles operating without number plates in the nation’s capital. This directive follows a surge in “one-chance” incidents in the FCT.
Disu has also instructed the deployment of additional personnel and equipment for patrols, stop-and-search operations, and surveillance throughout the territory. The FCT Police Command aims to combat rising incidents of “one-chance” crimes and car theft.
According to the command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, regulations regarding covered number plates and tinted glasses will also be enforced. Vehicle owners are advised to ensure compliance with all regulations to avoid inconvenience.
Adeh assured residents that the command is dedicated to maintaining a secure environment. She encouraged residents to report suspicious activities and cooperate with police officers, emphasizing that their safety is the command’s priority.
The FCT Police Command has already seen success in its efforts, recovering stolen vehicles and apprehending “one-chance” robbers.
