Kidnapping : Police Set To Clamp Down On Vehicles With Tinted Glasses, May Exempt VIPs
Police set to clamp down on vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses cos they contribute to the widespread of kidnappings.
According to Nigeria Police, most of the vehicles employed in criminal activities have tinted glasses.
Police however, said VIPs and people with defective sights can be allowed to use vehicles with tinted glasses.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has disclosed plans to clamp down on vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses, saying that they contribute to the widespread of kidnappings and crimes in the country.
Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, stated this on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday, adding that criminals use vehicles with unauthorized tinted glasses for their operations.
He said :
“You will discover that some of these crimes, particularly violent crimes, vehicle-related crimes, are connected.
“You can’t have kidnapping, you can’t have some of these incidences without being mobile, either the use of vehicles, bikes or tricycles, and most of the vehicles they use now are tinted and that is why we want to clamp down on the use of tinted glasses.”
Adejobi also said the use of unregistered vehicles is criminal and warned those covering their vehicle registration plates (number plates) to desist from such act.
He further stated that the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, recently had a meeting with experts on how to review the issuance of tinted permit for vehicles.
On tinted permit issuance, Adejobi said it is not automatic :
“Even when importing a vehicle, all tinted glasses must be removed. We don’t expect dealers to be selling vehicles with tinted glasses, whether factory-fitted or man-made,” he said.
The police spokesman, however, said very important personalities (VIPs) and people with defective sights can be considered to use vehicles with tinted glasses.
