 The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba has urged Nigerians to report police personnel who demand  tinted glass permits and Customs papers at checkpoints in any part of the country.

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the acting Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) confirmed this in a series of tweets on Sunday.

He informed the public the documents mentioned above, are not among the documents to be demanded by police personnel at checkpoints or on routine patrols.

Adejobi stated that it would be out of bounds for any policeman to demand customs papers or other documents not relevant to their duties.

The police boss stated that there was no need to demand permits for tinted glasses, but noted that policemen on duty, could stop such cars only for the purpose of a search.

“No policeman should demand your customs papers,” the force spokesman said in one of the tweets. “No. Except they are on (a) joint operation, but not just on mere routine checks.

“And for now, we have suspended (the) issuance of tinted glass permit. So, we don’t expect our men to disturb Nigerians on this.

“We are to stop any vehicle with tints, search the vehicle, and its occupants, but not to delay him for not having tinted glass permits. Report them if you are so delayed so that we ask them (the personnel) questions”, said.
