The Inspector General of
Police has state that driving in Lagos with tinted windows is against the law
but some people do it because they get away with it; but not anymore he says. He
has directed state commissioners of police to start seizing cars with tinted
windows and prosecute the car owners henceforth .
The directive is contained
in a statement issued by Frank Mba, the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer,
today in Abuja
“Police Officers nationwide have been
directed to commence a massive operation aimed at enforcing all existing laws
bordering on tinted glasses and the use of unregistered/unlicensed vehicles.
This unbecoming attitude has the capacity not only to heighten criminal
activities but to place unnecessary pressure on security agencies and law
abiding citizens
The IG wishes to remind Nigerians from all
walks of life, including politicians, military and security personnel that the
ban on unlawful and indiscriminate use of tinted glasses and legislation
forbidding the plying of unregistered vehicles are still in force. He wishes to
clearly state that the Nigeria Police will no longer tolerate few misguided
Nigerians who abuse the use of tinted glasses and unregistered/unlicensed
vehicles. Similarly, owners of unregistered/unlicensed vehicles are advised to
immediately register them and obtain appropriate licences or withdraw them
forthwith from public roads,” the statement read
