election.
The protest, which began from the secretariat of the party,
located on Michael Opara Way, Wuse Zone 5, was accompanied by

Police Ban Covering of Number Plates
The Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has
proscribed with immediate effect the covering of Vehicle Number
Plates by all unauthorized vehicle users across the Country.
The IGP gave this order on Tuesday, 5th March, 2019, following
intelligence report that the unwholesome practice may be deployed
by some unscrupulous persons to aid the commission of electoral
related offences before, during and after the Saturday, 9th March,
2019 Gubernatorial/House of Assembly elections.
Apart from the above immediate possible threats to the polls,
the IGP also noted that the covering of Vehicle Number Plate
amounts to a clear breach of the Road Traffic Act and other
relevant laws of the land. In addition, the act could also impact
negatively on national security and safety and has the capacity to;
heighten criminal activities, engender atmosphere of lawlessness,
shield perpetrators of crime and place unnecessary pressure on
security agencies in their routine crime prevention and monitoring
tasks.
The IGP therefore directs all Assistant Inspectors General of
Police (AIGs) and Commissioners of Police (CPs) in the Zonal and
State Commands to strictly enforce the restriction order at their
various Areas of Responsibilities (AOR) and to ensure that all
defaulters are dealt with according to the law. The IGP also warns
that any security personnel found escorting their principal with an
unmarked vehicle or those with masked vehicle number plates will be
arrested and dealt with accordingly.
