Three police officers, who were caught on camera demanding tinted glass permit from a motorist, have been nabbed and are now facing trial for professional misconduct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their arrest comes as the Police High Command begins the process of making the permit compulsory for many motorists, owing to the insecurity in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Force, <\/span>said vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses contribute to the ubiquitous kidnappings and crimes in the country.<\/p>\n

Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, stated this on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today <\/i>programme, adding that the Force will soon clamp down on such vehicles.<\/p>\n

He lamented that every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to have their car glasses tinted in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to Adejobi, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, had a meeting with experts and officers last Wednesday on how to review the issuance of tinted permit for vehicles.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cYou will discover that some of these crimes, particularly violent crimes, vehicle-related crimes, are connected.<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t have kidnapping, you can\u2019t have some of these incidences without being mobile, either the use of vehicles, bikes or tricycles, and most of the vehicles they use now are tinted and that is why we want to clamp down on the use of tinted glasses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when importing a vehicle, all tinted glasses must be removed. We don\u2019t expect dealers to be selling vehicles with tinted glasses, whether factory-fitted or man-made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The police spokesman, however, said very important personalities and people with defective sights can be considered to use vehicles with tinted glasses.<\/p>\n

He said the IGP has set up a committee on the matter and the report should be before him anytime from now. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, t<\/span>he officers who allegedly harassed, according to a police spokesperson, are from Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos State. They were caught on a video that went viral last week, demanding tinted glass permit from a motorist.<\/span><\/p>\n
