The Enugu State Government has announced the banned of unauthorised use of vehicles with tinted glasses in the state.

The ban will take effect from September 4, 2023. This is in line with state government’s determination to combat the nefarious activities of kidnappers and other criminal elements in the state.

This announcement was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Chidiebere Onyia on Monday morning.

Onyia said: “The ban shall take effect after four weeks of this notice, with consequent enforcement starting on Monday, September 4, 2023.

This is to give owners of vehicles with tinted glasses, who did not obtain Police Tinted Permits before the suspension of its issuance by the Nigeria Police Force on June 7, 2021, sufficient time to have them removed or replaced if they are factory fitted, by the provisions of the law.

It, however, warned that defaulting vehicles “shall be impounded by the enforcement taskforce and shall not be released to their owners until the tinted glasses are removed or replaced and the specified fines paid.

We, therefore, solicit the understanding and cooperation of the general public in this regard.”
