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
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
