Driving in Lagos with tinted windows is against the
law but some people do it because they get away with it. But not anymore says
the Inspector General of police. 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

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 licenses or withdraw them forthwith from
public roads,” the statement read
