Worried by the rising incidences of unauthorized persons using unmarked or vehicles with covered plate numbers in the state, the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Police command, CP John Abang has ordered the arrest and prosecution of persons using unmarked and masked vehicle plate numbers without authorization with immediate effect.
A statement issued in Awka yesterday by the command’s spokesman, Mr. Haruna Mohammed said that the order had become necessary as unauthorized persons were now using unmarked or vehicles with covered plate numbers to perpetrate crimes in the state so as to avoid being detected by the law enforcement agencies.
It noted that such acts were not only unlawful but also constituted serious security threats to the public which if left unchecked could jeopardize the efforts of the Police towards promoting safety and security in the state which the law enforcement agencies were working assiduously to sustain.
“In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner of Police, CP John B. Abang, fdc has ordered with immediate effect, the arrest and prosecution of persons using unmarked and masked vehicle plate numbers without authorization.
“Consequently, the CP also warns that any Security personnel found escorting their principal with an unmarked vehicle or those with covered vehicle number plates will be arrested and dealt with accordingly”, the statement added.
