The police command in Edo State says it has begun strict enforcement of tinted glass permits across the state from Thursday in line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police.

Mr. Monday Agbonika, the Commissioner of Police in Edo, disclosed this via a statement by the command's Public Relations Officer, CSP Moses Yamu.

Agbonika said the move was part of measures to enhance public safety and curb crimes perpetrated with unregistered or unauthorized vehicles.

"From Thursday, our officers will stop and impound vehicles with factory-fitted and non-factory-fitted tinted glasses without a valid permit issued by the Nigeria Police Force," the commissioner said.

The police chief stressed that motorists must obtain the required permits through the official online portal.
