Usman Alkali Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, has ordered that no police officers demand drivers’ Customs paperwork or tinted glass permits.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Acting Force Public Relations Officer, announced this in a statement on Sunday.
He warned that any police officer who demands Customs paperwork will be harshly reprimanded, and that tinted glass permits are still being issued across the country.

According to Adejobi, police officers can only stop any car with tinted windows, search the vehicle and its occupants, and then release the vehicle after a thorough inspection.
“No policeman should demand your customs paperwork,” Adejobi remarked. Unless they’re on a combined operation, which isn’t just an usual inspection.
“We’ve put a halt to the issue of tinted glass permits, so we don’t expect our men to cause any problems for Nigerians.”
“We are to stop any car with tints, search the vehicle and its occupants, but not to delay because tinted glass permits have not been obtained.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has described the destruction of police structures and assets in Imo State, as well as the residence of Professor George Obiozor, the President General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as “very disturbing.”

Reacting in a statement on Sunday by his Media Assistant, Garba Shehu, Buhari strongly condemned the violence in the subregion.
He urged everyone to maintain peace, adding that the law and order capabilities in the Southeast are being strengthened.
Buhari also called on the people of Imo State in particular and the subregion, in general, to maintain peace as the police and other agencies are working to ensure that normalcy is restored at the earliest.
