“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has directed all state commissioners of police to ensure due enforcement, as police officers will be empowered to conduct checks and enforce penalties for non-compliance in line with relevant extant laws.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains dedicated to enhancing road safety and protecting the lives of all citizens through the enforcement of traffic laws and regulations.

“Cooperation from members of the public in this crucial endeavor is much appreciated.”
