The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in Lagos State, SP Benjamin Hundeyin has warned car owners to avoid covering their number plates, saying it is a punishable offence.

Hundeyin said this in a post on X on Saturday.

He wrote: “Covering of number plates is against the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations. When convicted, punishment ranges from fines to prison terms.”
