Exclusive Registration Rights: Government Agencies Only
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, recently emphasized a crucial legal point regarding vehicle registration in Nigeria.
In a statement shared on his official X account, Adejobi clarified that under the law, only government agencies possess the authority to register vehicles in the country. Private companies or individuals engaging in this practice are deemed to be partaking in criminal and fraudulent activities.
Strict Warning and Legal Implications
Adejobi strongly cautioned against allowing private entities or individuals to handle vehicle registrations, stressing the legal limitations that dictate the exclusive authority granted to government agencies for this process.
He highlighted the gravity of this violation, asserting that the police and other relevant agencies are legally permitted to oversee vehicle registration procedures. Adejobi pledged swift and decisive action against any such unauthorized registrations.
Recent Directive and Enforcement Measures
This announcement follows closely on the heels of Adejobi’s prior disclosure regarding the illegality of affixing additional headlamps to vehicles or tricycles.
He underscored the potential ramifications of such alterations, categorizing them as traffic or criminal offences based on the extent and purpose of the modification.
Additionally, Adejobi reiterated that concealing or covering vehicle number plates in any manner is also deemed an offense under the law.
Legal Framework and Law Enforcement’s Vigilance
The Nigeria Police Force’s recent emphasis on vehicle-related regulations reflects a stringent adherence to the legal frameworks governing transportation and vehicular modifications.
By cautioning against unauthorized registrations and highlighting the illegality of certain modifications, the police aim to ensure compliance and uphold legal standards within the country’s transportation system.
Compliance and Implications for Vehicle Owners
Adejobi’s statements serve as a reminder to all vehicle owners in Nigeria about the exclusive authority vested in government agencies for vehicle registration.
The warning against unauthorized practices underscores the importance of adherence to legal regulations and serves as a call for compliance among individuals and private entities involved in vehicle registration processes.
