The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, CP Haruna Garba, said they have begun a clampdown on vehicles with unauthorised number plates.
This is coming after a public outcry against taxi cars operating in FCT with foreign number plates and Nigerian number plates at the same time.
FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, also said the Commissioner of Police has enjoined residents circulating the voice recording by one Mr West Robinson raising alarm over such commercial vehicles, which is making the rounds, to discontinue such, as it was creating panic and apprehension among the FCT residents.
“It may also interest the members of the public that there is an ongoing clampdown on the described vehicle (vehicles with foreign number plate) in the narrative, as the CP emphasises the command’s commitment to improving the overall security towards the protection of lives and properties of residents without fear or favor.
“The CP equally enjoins the good people of the Territory to be vigilant and take advantage of the Police emergency lines in reporting suspicious activities: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883,” the PPRO stated.
