The Lagos State Government has instructed law enforcement agencies to detain drivers who have damaged license plates and those who have no license plates at all.
Mr. Abdulhafiz Toriola, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation, remarked that the improper usage of license plates has become widespread and that it is necessary to put a stop to it.
A car without a number can be used to conduct crimes that might never be found, according to Toriola.
He stated:
“The purpose of using number plate is for proper identification and security as it is personalised for each vehicle. The law enforcement agencies have been mandated to apprehend defaulters. I urge vehicle owners to comply with the State Government to strengthen the security architecture already put in place.”
