In a press statement signed by the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Nafiu Abubakar and made available to journalists reads, “the special task force is mandated to seize any unregistered vehicles plying the roads, also included are car owners with fake plate numbers, unauthorised diplomatic plate numbers and those with spy numbers.

The statement added that defaulters will be arrested and immediately prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others.

Other mandates of the task force is the withdrawal of unofficial police escorts and guards attached to very important personalities (VIPs) not stipulated by the country’s law, the ban on the use of sirens by unauthorised persons is still active, the statement added.
