The Nigerian Police Force says it has stopped issuance of tinted glass permit, noting that anyone caught driving vehicles with tinted glasses will be stopped and searched.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), disclosed this in a twitter post on Sunday.
Adejobi also announced that police officers are not permitted to demand customs papers of vehicles from motorists, unless on a joint operation with custom officers.
“No police man should demand your customs papers. No. Except they are on joint operation, but not just on mere routine checks,” he said.
“And for now, we have suspended issuance of tinted glass permit, so we dont expect our men to disturb Nigerians on this.
“We are to stop any vehicle with tints, search d vehicles, and its occupants, but not to delay him for not having tinted glass permits. Report them if u are so delayed so that we ask them questions.”
