He urged all persons currently in possession of such plates to discontinue their usage forthwith.
Hundeyin said: “Users of these plates are to cooperate with security agencies in this regard.
“In line with the SOPs of the ban and its enforcement, no user of these plates is to be arrested, except where, of course, such a user resists the removal and confiscation of the plate or assaults security agents in the process.”
