The Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr Mohammed Abubakar, has said.
that obtaining permit for the use of vehicles with tinted glasses is
absolutely free.
Speaking on Friday at a meeting with Assistant Inspectors-General of
Police in charge of the 12 zonal commands in Nigeria, Abubakar said the
process of “obtaining tinted glass permit is free of charge, and there
is no amount of money written there for anybody to pay.”
According to him., “Motorists should not allow any policeman,
anywhere to subject them to paying charges that are not officially,
legally and legitimately stated.”
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reported that the clarification of
the IG was against the backdrop of renewed clampdown on motorists
driving vehicles with tinted glasses nationwide.
Abubakar, however, said that those complaining about the clampdown
were not sincere as they know that “by all standards they do not deserve
to have tinted glass vehicles’’.
He said that the police would enforce the ban as it was meant for the good of all Nigerians.
The police boss said that to avoid abuse in the granting of the
permit, the law only authorised the IG to issue it without delegating
such power to commands commissioners of police.
