"🙌police has the right to stop u for not having a plate number for security reasons and if you claim you just purchased it why don’t you atleast show them evidence of vehicle paper receipts and particulars of sale and also show them evidence of receipt of payment of new Vehicle registration papers and plate numbers from the Federal road safety or federal inland revenue service or the agency you made your payment too… Peller is wrong here and he should be set as an example, no one is bigger than the law."
