Vehicles with unauthorized tinted glasses have been banned in Enugu State.
The state government announced the ban on Monday in a statement by the secretary to the state government, Prof Chidiebere Onyia.
Onyia said the measure was to ‘combat the nefarious activities of kidnappers and other criminal elements’. The ban will however take effect from September 4, 2023.
The statement read in part, “This is to give owners of vehicles with tinted glasses, who did not obtain police tinted permits before the suspension of its issuance by the Nigeria Police Force on 7th June 2021, sufficient time to have them removed or replaced (if they are factory fitted), in accordance with the provisions of the law.
“Defaulting vehicles shall be impounded by the enforcement taskforce and shall not be released to their owners until the tinted glasses are removed or replaced and the specified fines paid.
“The ban is primarily aimed at curtailing the activities of criminals and to generally enhance the security and safety of the good people and residents of Enugu State.”
The state government therefore solicited the understanding and cooperation of the general public by complying with the directive.
