This was contained in a statement on Saturday signed by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe.
The Command disclosed that 26 vehicles were arrested for various traffic-related offences and subsequently charged before the Mobile Court provided by the Delta State Government for immediate adjudication.
According to the police, the enforcement exercise is being carried out in line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police and the Command’s commitment to promoting road safety, public order, and strict compliance with existing traffic laws.
