IGP suspends issuance of tinted vehicle glass permit, spy number plates

THE issuance of tinted vehicle windscreen permit and spy number plates has been suspended across the country.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, gave the order today during a meeting with senior police officers.

The order was issued as part of measures to curtail the worsening security challenges across the country.

Deputy Inspector Generals and Commissioners from across the states of the federation were also present at the meeting.

Usman Baba further emphasised that roadblocks remain prohibited in the country and warned that heads of commands must enforce it and key into the road patrol strategy as an alternative to roadblocks.

President Buhari had on April 6 appointed Usman Baba as acting Inspector General of Police.

Confirmation of the IGP’s appointment was made known during the Police Council meeting chaired by the president at the State House, Abuja, Friday last week.
