Operators of such vehicles are to be arraigned before the Mobile or Regular Courts where they stand the risks of fines payment of three thousand naira and or two to six months imprisonment. Many of the violators are also in the habit of driving dangerously hiding under the illusion that they could not be tracked as the vehicle plates are covered.

The Command wishes the public safe motoring.
