While urging the commanders to ensure the order was professionally enforced to the letter, the police boss also cautioned motorists to desist from driving unregistered vehicles, covering or using unauthorised government number plates as well as replacing their number plates with vehicles’ logos.
Prior to the suspension, he also warned motorists against the illegal use of sirens and unpermitted tinted glasses.
Anyone found wanting would be arrested and prosecuted, he said.
He also urged locals to be law-abiding, watchful, and to report suspected criminals and their actions to the police as soon as possible.
