The Nigeria Police Force, on Thursday, said vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses contribute to the ubiquitous kidnappings and crimes in the country.
Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, adding that the Force will soon clamp down on such vehicles.
He lamented that every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to have their car glasses tinted in Nigeria.
According to Adejobi, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, had a meeting with experts and officers on Wednesday on how to review the issuance of tinted permit for vehicles.
He also said the use of unregistered vehicles is criminal and warned those covering their number plates to desist from such act.
On tinted permit issuance, Adejobi said it is not automatic.
The police spokesman, however, said very important personalities and people with defective sights can be considered to use vehicles with tinted glasses.
He said the IGP has set up a committee on the matter and the report should be before him anytime from now.
