Police begin enforcement of tinted glass, siren regulations in Edo, Delta

Zone 5 police command has begun enforcing the ban on the unauthorized use of sirens and tinted glass permit regulations.
The command located in the South-south geopolitical zone comprises Edo and Delta.
A statement by the police, disclosed on Wednesday, stated that the exercise was in line with the existing laws and directives of IGP Kayode Egbetokun, which apply to all vehicles with tinted glasses, whether factory-fitted or non-factory-fitted.
The assistant inspector general of police in charge of the zone, Salma-Dogo Garba, said the enforcement would also affect the subsisting ban on the unauthorised use of sirens.
According to Mr Garba, there will also be strict enforcement on the use of revolving lights, Police SPY and unallocated official number plates, as well as the use of unregistered vehicles.
He said, “In view of the above, motorists yet to register their vehicles with tinted glasses are strongly advised to do so at www.possap.gov.ng. Thereafter, they should proceed to their state command headquarters for physical verification.
“Those who are not desirous of obtaining the tinted glass permit are advised to remove such tints or replace the factory-fitted glasses with transparent ones, as legally provided by the Motor Vehicles ( Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act 2004.”
The AIG warned field operatives and their supervisory officers to ensure that the exercise was carried out with utmost professionalism, devoid of any form of harassment or extortion of motorists. He stressed that any officer found wanting would be duly sanctioned, while the concerned supervisory officer would be held liable.
Mr Garba further urged motorists to cooperate with the Police during the exercise to ensure public safety and national security. He also charged residents to promptly report any form of harassment, extortion, or other unprofessional conduct to the nearest police station.
Mr Egbetokun announced that strict enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement will begin across Nigeria on Thursday.
The directive falls under the authority of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 2004, a law aimed at enhancing security and preventing criminal behavior.
Under the new mandate, all vehicles with tinted windows are required to carry valid and verifiable permit documents, which must be presented upon request by law enforcement.
