Lagos Police Ban Covered Number Plates, Tinted Front And Right Windows, Warn Against Unregistered Vehicles
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Jimoh Olohundare, has announced a ban on covering vehicle number plates in the state, warning that the police will begin strict enforcement of the rule. Speaking at a press briefing on Monday after addressing officers on directives from the Inspector-General of Police, Disu Olatunji, CP Olohundare also cautioned against the use of heavily tinted glasses that obscure the front and right side of vehicles, as well as the operation of unregistered vehicles on Lagos roads. He emphasized that any new vehicle purchased must be registered immediately and stressed that the police will enforce the regulations while upholding the rights and dignity of citizens. “It is prohibited for anyone in Lagos to cover their plate number or to use tinted glasses where the front screen and the right screen are tinted and covered. People are also prohibited from using unregistered vehicles,” he stated.
