Ogunjobi commended officers involved in the operation for their professionalism and dedication during the special intervention patrol aimed at improving road safety and enforcing traffic regulations.
According to him, 185 overloaded vehicles were apprehended during the exercise, while 127 motorists were booked for number plate violations. He added that three mixed-loading offences and four cases involving unlatched containers were also recorded and sanctioned.
The sector commander noted that no fake diplomatic number plates were discovered during the operation, although several motorists were penalised for dangerous driving.
