The ban, according to CP Eboka, was enacted in response to an earlier directive by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali, prohibiting the abuse and indiscriminate use of sirens, revolving lights, spy and covered plate numbers without proper authorization.
Suprintendant of Police SP Nnamdi Omoni, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, stated that a taskforce led by ACP Jepthan Nengi had been formed to ensure full compliance with the ban.
The statement stated that no effort will be spared in enforcing the ban, and that violators will be given one week to dismantle the prohibited facilities from their vehicles.
