Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, has urged Corps Commanding Officers across the country to work with the Nigeria Police Force to enforce the spy number plate prohibition.
According to ANAEDOONLINE, the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered a total prohibition on all use of Police SPY Car Number Plates by vehicle owners across the federation.
Oyeyemi, in a statement issued on Thursday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, commended the IGP on the ban and requested FRSC troops to collaborate with police officials in enforcing it.
The statement was titled, ‘Spy Number Plate Ban: Corps Marshal commends IGP, tasks commanding officers to complement Nigeria police to enforce compliance’.
According to Oyeyemi, road users who also parade faded number plates should endeavour to replace them with new ones so as to avoid impounding their vehicles.

Oyeyemi further ordered full force and immediate impoundment of private vehicles that are using commercial number plates
He reiterated the implications of the continued use of faded and other unauthorized vehicle number plates to national security.
“The use of the SPY and other unauthorized number plates to continually violate traffic rules and regulations must be brought to a halt, hence the directive given to Commanding Officers to brace up and ensure that they give adequate priority to the enforcement,” Oyeyemi was quoted as saying.
