The Lagos State Police Command has intensified its clampdown on vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses, with the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, personally leading Friday’s operation across the state.
The enforcement, which began on October 2, follows directives from the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, and is aimed at curbing criminal activities, boosting public safety, and ensuring adherence to traffic regulations.
Speaking during the exercise, CP Jimoh stressed that the move is not targeted at inconveniencing law-abiding citizens but at protecting lives and property.
He warned that vehicles with tinted glasses without valid permits will be impounded, with offenders prosecuted in line with the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 2004.
The Police Commissioner further directed officers to conduct the operation with professionalism and zero tolerance for harassment or extortion, warning that erring officers and their commanders will face sanctions.
Motorists were advised to obtain permits via www.possap.gov.ng or remove unauthorized tints.
The Command urged residents to cooperate with officers and report any misconduct through its dedicated hotlines and verified social media platforms.
SP Abimbola Adebisi, PPRO, reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and safeguarding Lagos residents.
