CP warns policemen against tinted glass extortion

Tinted glass permit – The Delta State Police Command has warned all Policemen to desist from demanding for tinted glass permit from motorists with intention to extort money from unsuspecting motorists in the state.

The Command Commissioner of police, Mr. Zanna M. Ibrahim stated this in response to incessant outcry by members of the public of extortion and other unwholesome acts allegedly being perpetrated by policemen on such duties under the pretext of demanding for tinted glass permit.

The Police boss urged motorists not to hesitate to report any erring police officer in this regard to the appropriate quarters of the Command.

Lagos Police P.R.O, SP Dolapo Badmus issued similar command recently, stating that “no police officer has the right to arrest anyone for using tinted glasses and they have been asked to stop demanding for renewal of tinted permit. She however advised the public to get their tinted glass permit which is non renewable.”
