It is no longer breaking news that Police Officers in
Nigeria have been banned from demanding for Custom papers and tinted glass
permits. But, for those who are not yet aware, it is necessary to state that
the ban was made public via a tweet on Sunday by the Nigeria Police, Force
Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi. The said tweet reads in part:
“No policeman should demand your
customs papers. Except they are on joint operation, but not just on mere
routine checks. We have suspended issuance of tinted glass permits, so we don’t
expect our men to disturb Nigerians on this. 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 above is the Police's tweet that have got Nigerians talking commendably about the current Police hierarchy.
