The Police Command in Delta State has notified the public that it will intensify enforcement of traffic laws and other related revenue offences across the State, with immediate effect.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Delta State Police Command, SP Edafe Bright, in a statement in Asaba, indicated that the Delta State Judiciary, through the Office of the Chief Registrar of the High Court of Justice, Delta State, on behalf of the Chief Judge, Justice T.O. Diai, confirmed that designated Mobile Courts are operational across various jurisdictions in the State. These courts are empowered to summarily try traffic offenders and other violators in accordance with extant laws.

The Police will be enforcing the traffic offences and revenue default at the mobile Court.

According to the PPRO, consequently, the Command will strengthen surveillance, patrol, and enforcement operations across major roads and urban centres including Asaba, Warri, Effurun, Sapele, Ughelli, Agbor, and other locations within the State.

The PPRO said that offences such as reckless driving, driving against traffic, use of unauthorized number plates, driving without registration numbers, unauthorized use of sirens and revolving lights, obstruction, and other traffic violations will attract immediate arrest and prosecution before the Mobile Courts.

The Police, therefore, admonished members of the public to desist from violating traffic regulations and other laws. The Police asserted that the Command will not tolerate impunity.

"There will be zero tolerance for traffic indiscipline, obstruction of law enforcement officers, or attempts to evade lawful arrest," the PPRO declared.

The Command reiterated that the measures are not punitive but aimed at restoring order, improving road safety, protecting lives and property, and ensuring compliance with the law.

Law-abiding residents have nothing to fear. However, violators should be prepared to face the full weight of the law, the Police said.
