Don’t pay for tinted vehicle permit – IG

Many motorists had complained about the police clampdown against the use of tinted glasses and accused policemen of extorting them for using tinted glasses without permits.

But Abubakar, who spoke in Abuja on Friday during a meeting with the Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in charge of 12 zonal commands across the country, advised motorists not to succumb to financial demand by any policemen, noting that the application for the permit was free.

“It (permit for tinted glasses) is free of charge; there is no amount of money written there for anybody. They (motorists) should not allow any policeman anywhere to subject them to paying fees that are not officially, legally and legitimately stated,” he said.

Abubakar said those complaining about the clampdown were not sincere as they knew that “by all standards they do not deserve to have tinted glass vehicles.”

He vowed that the police and other security agencies would enforce the ban as it was meant for the good of all Nigerians.
