Police reintroduce tinted-glass permit issuance

The police high command, on Thursday, said it has concluded reviewing and will reintroduce the issuance of tinted-glass permits for motorists nationwide which it earlier suspended.

Daily Trust reports that the force had in June 2022 ordered its officers nationwide to stop asking motorists for tinted-glass permits, saying there was no need for that to avoid harassment of law-abiding Nigerians.

But the spokesman of the force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, told journalists in Abuja that the development was in a bid to enhance national security and curb criminal activities facilitated by the misuse of tinted glass.

Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, said with the proposed lifting of the ban, stringent measures are being implemented to prevent abuse and ensure strict compliance with guidelines governing the issuance and use of tinted glass permits.
