Usman Baba, the Inspector-General of Police has directed a total ban on all use of Police SPY Vehicle Number Plates by vehicle owners across the states of the federation without exception.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday by Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.<\/p>\n

The statement was titled, \u2018Internal security: IGP bans use of spy number plates nationwide \u2026 Directs reversal to original registered number plates, seizure of SPY plates\u2019.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cThis is irrespective of whether it is authorised, or not, as all authorizations are hereby revoked indefinitely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis order is necessary to forestall the continuous disregard for traffic rules and regulations and other extant laws guiding road use by individuals hiding under the privileges of SPY police number plates.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe IGP has therefore directed that police officers and officers<\/a> of other security agencies attached to VIPs who use the SPY number plates should ensure prompt compliance with this directive or risk being arrested for violation of the order.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMeanwhile, the IGP has directed Commissioners of Police in the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as their supervisory Assistant Inspectors General of Police, to give full effect to the directives as contained above.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe IGP specifically directed the AIGs and CPs to ensure that all SPY number plates currently in use are confiscated henceforth but the owners of such vehicles should not be arrested unless they are police officers or officers of other security agencies on escort duties.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe IGP however warned that while carrying out these assignments, officers must ensure the rights and privileges of citizens are respected in line with the laws of the land and in accordance with international best practices.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOther security agencies and members of the public are enjoined to cooperate with the Police in this regard as the moves are aimed at strengthening our internal security.\u201d<\/div>\n
