The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Chidi Nwabuzor of the command, made the announcement in a statement made available to newsmen in Benin.

He also said that the situation presently constitutes an impediment in checkmating crime and criminality in the state.
He said that in view of this, the Commissioner of Police in the State, CP Mohammed Danmallam has, therefore, warned the general public who indulge in this acts to desist.
Nwabuzor noted that Police in Edo would commence the clamp down or impounding of such vehicles and prosecution of offenders after the expiration of two weeks of period of grace.
He said that the period of grace was to allow vehicle owners ample time to register their vehicles, remove the covered number plates, replace the defaced number plates, obtain tinted glass (factory fitted) permit and other relevant vehicle documents for their vehicles.
He further said that the command appreciated the good working relationship with the other sister security agencies.

Over 100 anti-corruption civil society organisations and their supporters staged a protest in Lagos at the weekend in continuation of their call for the removal of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abdulrasheed Bawa, over alleged continued disobedience of court orders.
Leaders of the groups, who began what they described as a “week-long protest against politicisation of the EFCC, disobedience of court orders and infringement on human rights of Nigerians”, on Friday, said many CSOs called in to join the struggle after the maiden press conference held in Lagos.
The CSOs walked through the streets of Ikeja, through Ikeja City Mall, ending at the Oregun Junction, in Ikeja, Lagos, chanting protest songs and asking President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Bawa.
They noted that they were aware of the persistent pressure and intimidation of the Nigerian media to underplay the dissatisfaction of the anti-corruption CSOs with Bawa, stressing that no amount of intimidation would make them give up their collective struggle against corruption and leaders undermining the struggle.
A spokesperson for the Transparency and Accountability Group, Ayodeji Ologun, who spoke on behalf of the CSOs, said the Coalition of Anti-corruption organisations could not stay aloof while the country’s legal system was being bastardised by the “selfish interests of a few”, insisting that, if Bawa was bent on playing politics, he should get a membership card from any of the political parties.
