The Kebbi State Police Command has directed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and tactical units to clamp down on the unauthorized use of sirens, tinted glasses, and fake private number plates in the state.
According to CSP Nafiu Abubakar, Police Public Relations Officer, the directive is part of the command's efforts to maintain law and order in the state. "Only specific individuals and agencies are authorized to use sirens, including the President, Vice President, Senate President, House of Representatives leadership, Chief Justice, Governors, Deputy Governors, Military, Police, Paramilitary, Fire Service, Ambulances, and Bullion Vans with escort," Abubakar stated.
The Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, CP Bello M. Sani, has warned that anyone found violating the order will be arrested, prosecuted, and have their vehicles, sirens, and fake number plates impounded. "The CP hereby appeals to the good people of Kebbi State to desist from the contravention of such order, as anyone found violating the order will be appropriately sanctioned," Abubakar added.
The police command is urging members of the public to comply with the order and assist the police in making Kebbi State safer and more secure. The directive is still in force, and the police are committed to enforcing it to maintain order and discipline on the roads.
By enforcing this order, the Kebbi State Police Command aims to reduce the abuse of power and privilege on the roads and ensure that only authorized individuals and agencies use sirens and other special privileges.
