Police Send Warning Message To Users Of Unregistered Vehicles

The Ogun State Police Command has observed with great concern the reckless usage of unregistered vehicles and motorcycles across the state and the rate at which they are being used to carry out heinous crimes. 

The most recent incident was the assassination of an ICT lecturer who was blocked in the Itori by gunmen using an unregistered Lexus jeep.

In view of this, the command warned that anybody caught driving an unregistered car or motorcycle will be dealt with and the car or motorcycle will be impounded while the owner will be prosecuted.

Similarly, owners of vehicles with factory fitted tinted glasses are advised to approach the Command’s Department of operations for a tinted permit certificate, while those using artificially tinted glasses are advised in their own interest to remove them forthwith or face prosecution.
