The Enugu State Government has banned the use of vehicles with tinted glasses in the state.
The public service announcement signed by Professor Chidiebere Onyia, Secretary to the State Government, SSG, on Monday, disclosed the ban is necessary for security purposes.
“It is important to reiterate that 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 ban shall take effect after four (4) weeks of this notice, with consequent enforcement starting on Monday, September 4, 2023.”
The SSG further stated that vehicle owners who do not possess the Police Tinted Glass Permit should within the window period of a month given by the state government have the tinted glass removed or replaced (if they are factory fitted).
On penalty for defaulters, Prof. Onyia stated that defaulting vehicles shall be impounded by the enforcement taskforce; the impounded vehicles will not be released until the tinted glasses are removed or replaced and the specified fines paid.
Recall that the Nigeria Police Force had suspended the issuance of Tinted Glass Permits since 7th June 2021.
