Ekiti Police Commissioner Seeks Judiciary's Support to Tackle Unregistered Vehicles, Motorcycles

The Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, has sought the support of the judiciary in addressing the growing number of unregistered vehicles and motorcycles operating across the state.

The police commissioner made the appeal on Thursday during a working visit to the Chief Judge of Ekiti State, Justice Lekan Ogunmoye, at his office in Ado-Ekiti.

Speaking during the visit, CP Falade said the engagement was aimed at strengthening collaboration with the judiciary to ensure the effective enforcement of the Inspector-General of Police's directive on the clampdown on unregistered vehicles and motorcycles operating without proper identification.

According to him, the increasing presence of such vehicles, particularly in communities outside the state capital, has become a major security concern requiring coordinated action by relevant institutions.

"Though no institution is perfect, with the judiciary's guidance, police operations in Ekiti have been successful. I came to Ekiti barely three months ago and have since hit the ground running," he said.

The commissioner appealed for the continued support of the judiciary in ensuring the successful prosecution of offenders arrested during the enforcement exercise.

The Inspector-General of Police recently directed police commands nationwide to intensify enforcement against unregistered and unidentified vehicles and motorcycles as part of broader efforts to strengthen internal security and curb criminal activities across the country.
