The Cross River State Police Command on Tuesday outlawed the use of vehicles with unapproved tinted glass across the state.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo made this known while speaking with newsmen.
She cited the use of vehicles with tinted glass to perpetuate criminality in the state as reason for the action.
Ugbo warned that the command had resolved that, henceforth, any vehicle owner found with tinted glass without a permit would be prosecuted according to the law.
“The Nigeria Police, Cross River Command in particular, has observed with dismay the way and manner individuals without any authorisation or permission, artificially tint their vehicles, unregistered, or covered for selfish purposes.
This informs the Command’s decision which they followed through by informing the public to forestall getting caught and penalised for involving in the illegal practice.
“To this end, vehicle owners (private/commercial) are enjoined to produce their permit when the need arises, while artificial tinted permit users are warned to personally deface the tinted glasses for security reasons,” she stated.
Recently, Cross River State has seen an upsurge in cases of kidnapping and other forms of criminality.
