The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, cautioned motorists to avoid driving unregistered vehicles, emphasising that such practices undermine law enforcement efforts, particularly in identifying and tracking stolen vehicles or those involved in criminal activities.
Quoting Section 16 of the TSRL 2018, Mr. Osiyemi reiterated that driving a vehicle without proper registration or affixed identification marks constitutes a legal offence.
He further revealed that a fake dealer number plate was discovered on one of the impounded vehicles, noting that investigations are ongoing to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for issuing the fraudulent plate.
The Commissioner urged all motorists to adhere to the state’s traffic regulations, stating that compliance would enable the government to fulfil its mission of ensuring a safe and secure environment for all road users.
