The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has said he would personally prefer a total ban on tinted vehicles nationwide if the decision were solely within his authority.
He said fully tinted vehicles pose serious security risks and are frequently used by kidnappers, armed robbers, and “one-chance” operators.
Disu stated this in Abuja while responding to concerns raised by the President of the Nigerian Bar Association Afam Osigwe (SAN), who opposed the renewal and commercialisation of tinted glass permits, but said the association had no objection to police regulation of their use.

The NBA president further said permit administration should not be outsourced to private
