ABEOKUTA. The Ogun State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced a special enforcement operation code-named “Operation Guduma” aimed at tackling the use of fake number plates, overloading, and other dangerous road practices across the state.
In a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Sector Command, Afolabi Odunsi, the operation is being carried out in strict compliance with directives from the FRSC National Headquarters, Abuja, as part of efforts to improve road safety and ensure compliance with traffic regulations.
The statement noted that the special intervention patrol operation, which commenced on Sunday, May 18, 2026, would run until May 22, 2026 across strategic corridors and major highways within Ogun State. It added that the exercise is being supervised by Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) JO Asaolu, who was assigned by the Corps Marshal to oversee the intervention in collaboration with the Ogun State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi.
Odunsi explained that the operation is specifically designed to eliminate the use of illegal and counterfeit number plates as well as address overloading and unsafe haulage practices, which have continued to contribute to fatal road crashes on Nigerian highways. He stated that enforcement teams would monitor and prosecute offenders involved in the use of fake diplomatic number plates, dangerous mix-loading of passengers and goods, overloading, and movement of unlatched containers.
The Command clarified that the enforcement on diplomatic number plates targets only counterfeit plates and not legitimately issued but faded number plates. It further warned motorists and transport operators against violating established road safety regulations, stressing that offenders would be sanctioned in accordance with extant traffic laws.
Speaking on the operation, the Ogun State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi, urged motorists, fleet managers, and other road users to cooperate fully with officers deployed for the exercise. He reiterated the Command’s zero tolerance for traffic violations capable of endangering lives and property, assuring the public that the operation would be conducted professionally, fairly, and in line with FRSC operational procedures.
