Tinted car glass are not allowed in Borno State, according to the Police.
The usage of covered number plates is also prohibited in the state, according to a statement from state police spokesperson Kamiludeen Sani.
According to NAN, Sani claimed that the command had noticed that owners of vehicles often utilize spy number plates, covered number plates, and tinted car glasses.
He claimed that the police had also observed that unauthorized individuals in the state were sounding sirens.
Sani advised locals against committing such crimes and added that illegal behavior will not be allowed.
“Violators of the law against the use of the items are warned to desist as the police would not allow unpatriotic individuals to violate the law by their acts of lawlessness,” NAN quoted Sani as saying.
“All heads of departments, area commanders, divisional police officers and tactical commanders have been directed to heighten the level of vigilance in their respective areas of responsibility.
“They have also been directed to collaborate with other security agencies to share information and intelligence reports and to ensure a coordinated effort in enforcing the ban and addressing any emerging threats.”
In 2021, Usman Baba, former inspector-general of police, directed the suspension of issuance of permits for tinted glasses and SPY number plates for vehicles across the country.
Baba later exempted cars with factory-fitted glasses from the ban.
