The Ogun State Command, Federal Road Safety Corps, has announced that it will henceforth start the confiscating of vehicles bearing illegal number plates operating in the state.

He said owners of such vehicles impounded would also face prosecution.

The Sector Commander in the state, Clement Oladele, disclosed this in a statement released in Abeokuta today.

The state sector commander added that there were some vehicles which ply the roads in the state without number plates, a practice, which he said, was inimical to national security.

He warned leaders of political parties in the state to get their campaign vehicles registered and licensed with the relevant authorities.

Oladele further stated that the command would not watch the drivers of those vehicles drive them in dangerous manner or overload them with passengers/supporters.

He explained that he had directed patrol teams across the state to impound any vehicle that failed to meet up with these requirements.

In similar vein, the leadership of political parties is urged to prevail on their supporters to get their campaign vehicles properly licensed.

 The drivers must abide with the extant traffic regulations, including disallowing overloading them with passengers or driving in a dangerous manner.

Oladele advised motorists to always be armed with their original driving license, as the command would no longer accept the practice of those using photocopies to represent the original.
