The Lagos State Police Command has given a one month grace to motorists for the regularisation of vehicle documents.

The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, in a statement on Tuesday, said the command had suspended the ongoing Operation Velvet for one month based on the appeal of the Governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, and members of the state House of Assembly.

Oti said, “The authorities of the Lagos State Police Command have suspended the ongoing Operation Velvet for a period of one month with effect from Tuesday, October 30, 2018, to enable motor vehicle and motorcycle owners’ to have time to regularise their documents.

“The operation, aimed at enforcing all relevant traffic laws to restore orderliness  on our roads and highways, was put on hold for a period of one month based on the appeal of the executive Governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, and the honourable  members of the state House of Assembly.

“However, the command wishes to warn all road users that the grace period should not be interpreted as a period of lawlessness on the city roads. It is a time allowed to get the vehicle documents and necessary permits.

“It warns that the command will continue to enforce laws against driving on BRT lanes, parking at unauthorised places thereby causing gridlock and driving against traffic (one way).”
