…DCP Ohuruzo Leads Coordinated Public Safety Exercise Across State
The Abia State Police Command has intensified its enforcement against vehicles with defaced, covered, or improperly displayed registration number plates, as well as the unlawful use of tinted glasses without valid permits.
CDA News Nigeria reports that in line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, officers of the Command carried out a coordinated public safety enforcement exercise across the state on Monday, September 21, 2026, in operational compliance with the marching orders of the Commissioner of Police, CP Wilfred Olutokunbo Afolabi.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the operation was led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), DCP Ifeanyi Ohuruzo, and comprised officers of the Area Command Umuahia, the State Traffic Department, and personnel from the Central Police Station. Prior to the exercise, officers were briefed and charged to maintain professionalism, exhibit high standards of conduct, and strictly adhere to operational ethics throughout the enforcement.
Members of the public are advised to ensure strict compliance with existing vehicle regulations by avoiding the use of defaced, covered, or improperly displayed registration number plates, and by ensuring that tinted vehicles are operated only with valid permits issued by the appropriate authorities. The public is further encouraged to cooperate fully with ongoing enforcement efforts in the interest of safety, law, and order.
However, where any case of misconduct or unprofessional behaviour is observed from officers during the exercise, members of the public are advised to promptly report such incidents to the Complaint Response Unit of the Abia State Command via 09031593827 and 09035401645
The exercise is ongoing in Aba and across various Area Commands of the state, as the Command intensifies efforts to enhance security, ensure compliance with traffic and vehicle regulations, and protect lives and property.
