The Nigeria Police Force has announced a reconsideration of the ban on tinted glass, proposing its lifting with strict measures in place to prevent misuse and ensure adherence to guidelines.
According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Thursday, the force plans to provide training for ICT analysts and enforcement officers across the country to ensure compliance.
The statement partly read: “In a bid to enhance national security and curb criminal activities facilitated by the misuse of tinted glass, the Nigeria Police Force has concluded its review of the issuance of tinted glass permits, previously banned in June 2022.
“The ban was initiated due to widespread concerns regarding the role of tinted glass in aiding heinous crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, the illegal transportation of firearms, human trafficking etc.
“With the proposed lifting of the ban, stringent measures are being implemented to prevent abuse and ensure strict compliance with guidelines governing the issuance and use of tinted glass permits.”
Additionally, the statement mentioned that the training of ICT analysts and enforcement officers nationwide is slated for February 29, 2024, serving as a precursor to the resumption of tinted glass permit issuance.
