The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Tunji Disu, issued a directive on Tuesday mandating the impounding of vehicles lacking number plates across the territory.<\/p>\n

In addition, Disu ordered the increased deployment of personnel and resources for patrols, stop-and-search operations, and surveillance throughout the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n

This directive comes in response to the growing number of ‘one chance’ incidents, where criminals target unsuspecting commuters.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by the command\u2019s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, enforcement will also focus on vehicles with covered number plates and tinted windows.<\/p>\n

Adeh urged residents to be patient as these measures might cause some temporary disruptions for commuters.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that the increased operations are part of a broader effort to tackle rising criminal activity, including car theft and fraudulent robberies.<\/p>\n

“The FCT Police Command is deploying additional officers and equipment to carry out patrols and surveillance across the territory.<\/p>\n

These operations are designed to curb the growing incidents of ‘one chance’ crimes and vehicle theft,” Adeh stated.<\/p>\n

“We will be impounding vehicles without proper registration plates, those with only one plate, or vehicles with defaced plates.<\/p>\n

We will also enforce regulations related to tinted windows and covered number plates,” she added.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging that the operations might cause some inconvenience, Adeh reassured the public that these actions are critical to ensuring the safety of all residents and deterring crime.<\/p>\n

Since the implementation of these measures, the police have recovered stolen vehicles and arrested suspected criminals involved in ‘one chance’ scams.<\/p>\n

“We thank the public for their cooperation and patience during these operations. We encourage vehicle owners to adhere to all regulations to avoid penalties.<\/p>\n

“The FCT Police Command is committed to maintaining a secure environment, and we urge residents to report any suspicious activities and assist our officers in ensuring everyone\u2019s safety,” Adeh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
