The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba on Monday announced the immediate suspension of tinted glass permits and issuance of SPY number plates in the country.
According to him, some mischievous persons have capitalised on the license to commit heinous crimes.
“Accordingly, henceforth, the issuance of SPY number plates and tinted-glass permits are hereby suspended. The existing authorisations are being reviewed and a protocol to regulate the issuance of such permits will be evolved.
“In due course, an enforcement mechanism that will enforce the standardised process of issuance of SPY number plates and tinted-glass will be implemented across the country. The Nigeria Police will work closely with the leadership of the Federal Road Safety Commission, (FRSC), in this regard.
“The compliance to this directive shall be confirmed in the course of my ongoing tours to your commands and any departmental head, zonal commander, commissioner of police or unit head that is found wanting will be dealt with”, the IGP affirmed.
