Central Regional Commander Joshua Nkanatha has denied claims that security officers are conducting operations in Ol Kalou using unmarked cars.
He said the use of cars without number plates is illegal and those found culpable will face the law.
“No police officer is driving an unmarked car, the DCI have their number plates, the police…, and even my car has a number plate,” he said.
