Loui’s Edet House that is the Headquarters Nigerian Police Force, Abuja, has once again told Nigerians that it is forbidden for any policeman to demand Customs papers from motorists anywhere in the country.
The DEFENDER reports that this was disclosed by the Acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, via a tweet posted on the Nigerian Police Twitter handle on Sunday March 20, 2022.
Adejobi also said policeman should ask or demand for tinted glass permits as, according to him, the Force has stopped the issuance of same.
By way of emphasis Adejobi tweeted: “No police man should demand your customs papers. No. Except they are on joint operation, but not just on mere routine checks. And for now, we have suspended issuance of tinted glass permit, so we dont expect our men to disturb Nigerians on this.
“Any policeman demanding for more, is a deviant and he must be dealt with. If not, many Nigerians will suffer from him and his likes. Dont die in silence, speak out to save yourself and others,” the nation’s police number one public relations officer said, promising to dwell more on the topic soon.
A media report said CSP Adejobi further explained what a policeman can do if vehicle with tinted glass must be stopped.
“We are to stop any vehicle with tints, search the vehicles, and its occupants, but not to delay for not having tinted glass permits.”
The Force PRO urged Nigerians to report personnel, who delay them.
