The Cross River State Police Command says it has impounded 25 vehicles in Calabar for offences related to registration plates. The police state that the vehicles are held over violations such as operating without valid registration plates and using altered, covered, defaced or unauthorised dealer number plates. According to the command, the enforcement follows a nationwide directive from the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, targeting the use of concealed or irregular vehicle identification markings.
The police also indicate that offenders are being prosecuted as part of the operation. The reports describe the action as part of ongoing efforts to improve compliance with vehicle registration and plate regulations within the state.
While the two outlets focus on the same incident, both describe the scale of the impoundment (25 vehicles) and the plate-related grounds for seizure, as well as the link to the IGP’s directive. The coverage does not provide details on the court outcomes or the specific identities of those charged.
