Usman Alkali Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, has banned all
police officers from demanding Customs papers from drivers and permits for
tinted glass.
This was made known in a statement on Sunday by the Ag. PRO, CSP Olumuyiwa
Adejobi.
He stated that any police officer caught demanding Custom papers will be
severely punished, stressing that the issuance of tinted glass permits remains
suspended across the country. Adejobi said police officers can only stop any
vehicle with tints, search the vehicle, and its occupants and allow such
vehicle to go after a thorough check.
Adejobi said: “No policeman should demand your customs papers. Except
they are on joint operation, but not just on mere routine checks. We have
suspended the issuance of tinted glass permits, so we don’t expect our men to
disturb Nigerians on this.
“We are to stop any vehicle with tints, search the vehicles, and its
occupants, but not to delay for not having tinted glass permits.”
