LAUNCHING OF STATEWIDE CRACKDOWN ON VEHICLES WITH COVERED, UNAUTHORIZED OR MISSING REGISTRATION PLATES
In line with the directives of the 24th indigenous Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, the Bauchi State Police Command will commence a statewide enforcement operation against vehicles with covered, defaced, unauthorized, or no registration number plates.
The enforcement will take effect from Monday, 15th June, 2026. The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, mni, psc (+), has directed all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers across the 20 LGAs to ensure effective compliance within their Areas of Responsibility. He ordered that any vehicle found in violation be promptly impounded and subjected to proper investigation in accordance with existing laws.
The good people of Bauchi are also urged to note that this operation is not an attempt to harass law-abiding citizens but a targeted security strategy. Obscured or missing number plates remain a key tool used by criminal elements to evade detection, commit crimes, and disappear untrace. This exercise will therefore enhance police capacity to identify vehicles, track suspects, and respond swiftly to security incidents across the State.
Consequently, all motorists, commercial drivers, fleet owners, and vehicle owners are advised to ensure their vehicles display valid, official, and clearly visible registration plates at all times. Drivers are also urged to keep all vehicle documents current and available for inspection.
Bauchi Police Command remains committed to safeguarding lives and property. The cooperation of the public is critical to the success of this operation. The Command appreciates the understanding and support of Bauchi residents as we work together to sustain a safer state.
Security is everyone’s business. Members of the public are therefore encouraged to report suspicious vehicles, movements, or activities to the nearest police station or through our emergency line: 08151849417.
