Spotted a car with a covered or missing number plate in Kogi? The police aren’t having it anymore. As of Monday, they’ve kicked off a full-blown crackdown — and your vehicle could be next if you’re not compliant.

So, here’s what’s happening in Kogi, according to cbinews.tv. The Kogi State Police Command started a state-wide operation on Monday, and they’re going after vehicles with dodgy number plates — we’re talking covered, obscured, defaced, unauthorised, or even missing plates entirely.

Why the sudden sweep? ASP Oyiza Afusat, the Command’s spokesperson, said it’s all on the orders of Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu. The big idea is to make the state safer by stopping criminals from using unidentifiable cars to carry out shady activities. Makes sense, right?

Commissioner of Police CP Naziru Bello Kankarofi isn’t playing either. He’s told all Area Commanders, Motor Traffic police and DPOs to enforce this to the letter. If your car is caught breaking the rules, it’ll be impounded and investigated under the law. No soft landing.

Afusat had some advice for drivers, transport operators, and fleet owners: make sure your number plates are valid and clearly visible at all times. Plus, keep all your vehicle documents up to date and handy in case the police ask to see them.

She stressed this isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s a proactive move to prevent crime, make vehicle identification easier, and tighten security across Kogi. The Command says it’s fully committed to protecting lives and property, but they need the public on board to make it work.

And a quick reminder from the police: stay sharp. If you see any suspicious persons, vehicles, or activities, report them to the nearest Police Station or use the emergency channels.
