Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Monday Agbonika
The police command in Edo says it will begin strict enforcement of tinted glass permits across the state from Thursday in line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police.
Mr Monday Agbonika, the Commissioner of Police in the Edo disclosed this via a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Moses Yamu.
Agbonika said the move was part of measures to enhance public safety and curb crimes perpetrated with unregistered or unauthorised vehicles.
“From Thursday, our officers will stop and impound vehicles with factory-fitted and non-factory fitted tinted glasses without a valid permit issued by the Nigeria Police Force,” the commissioner said.
The police chief stressed that motorists must obtain the required permits through the official online portal.
He gave the address as (https://www.possap.gov.ng) or by visiting the State Intelligence Department (SID) office at the command headquarters in Benin.
Reiterating the ban on SPY number plates, the commissioner warned that vehicles without registered number plates, those with covered plates, or with fake/unapproved numbers would be seized and their owners prosecuted.
“This measure is to improve safety and security across Edo State, as unregistered and unauthorised vehicles are often used by criminals to perpetrate evil,” he said.
He, however, urged the motoring public to comply with the directive and avoid unnecessary embarrassment.
Agbonika assured that the enforcement would be conducted in the interest of the public.
“We appeal for maximum cooperation from members of the public. This exercise is for the overall safety of everyone,” he added.
He also advised citizens to report suspicious activities and professional misconduct by officers.
