The Zamfara State Police Command, under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba, psc+, has issued a strong warning to the general public against the illegal act of covering vehicle plate numbers, particularly within Gusau, the state capital.
This warning follows increasing reports and observations of motorists driving with covered or concealed plate numbers, which is a clear violation of traffic regulations and poses a serious threat to public safety and security.
A statement signed by the command public relations officer DSP Yazid Abubakar on behalf of the CP, said the Command views this act as an intentional effort to evade law enforcement scrutiny and potentially aid criminal activity.
It added that CP Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba psc+ emphasized that the Police Command will no longer tolerate such unlawful behavior. Officers have been directed to commence strict enforcement, and any vehicle found with an obscured, covered, or tampered plate number will be impounded. Offenders will face the full weight of the law.
The Commissioner of Police urges all residents and motorists in Zamfara State to comply with traffic laws and support the Police in ensuring a safer environment for all.
He reassures the public of the Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, and calls on citizens to report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
