Delta government convicts 23 traffic offenders, acquits three others

A Mobile Court in Delta State has convicted twenty‑three individuals for traffic offences and ordered them to pay fines that correspond to the nature of their violations. Three other defendants were discharged and acquitted.

The Delta State Police Command announced the results in a statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer Bright Edafe.

Edafe said the convictions followed a statewide enforcement campaign carried out by the Command to uphold traffic regulations.

He noted, “Twenty‑six (26) vehicles were seized for various traffic‑related offences and subsequently charged before the Mobile Court provided by the Delta State Government for immediate adjudication.”

According to Edafe, “The enforcement exercise, carried out in line with the Inspector‑General of Police’s directive and the Command’s commitment to road safety, public order, and compliance with existing laws, is aimed at addressing traffic violations that endanger lives and compromise the orderly use of the roads.”

“At the conclusion of the court proceedings, twenty‑three (23) offenders were convicted and ordered to pay fines commensurate with their respective offences, while three (3) others were discharged and acquitted,” he added.

Edafe explained that the outcome reflects the Command’s determination to enforce traffic regulations through lawful and transparent measures.

Commissioner of Police for the Delta State Command, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, reiterated the Command’s resolve to continue the exercise across the state and warned that violators of traffic laws would continue to face appropriate legal sanctions.

He urged motorists to ensure that their vehicles are properly registered and documented and to comply with all traffic regulations at all times.
