Anambra poll: Police to impound vehicles with unauthorised tinted glasses

The Anambra police command says it will impound unmarked and unauthorised vehicles as part of security measures ahead of the November 6 governorship election in the state.

This was made known in a statement signed by Nkeiruka Nwode, head of the police media team for election duty.

According to NAN, Echeng Echeng, the state commissioner of police, has asked motorists to ensure that their vehicles are properly registered with up to date number plates.

He said the measure became compulsory in order to monitor and check crime and insecurity in the state.

The commissioner also warned against the use of vehicles with “unauthorised tinted glasses”.

“Any vehicle that plies without a plate number or up-to-date plate number will be impounded and the law invoked upon the defaulter,” the statement reads.

“The CP reiterates the readiness of the command to provide a crime-free and safe environment now and always.

“The CP reminds motorists, both public and private in Anambra, that the IGP’s ban of unauthorised tinted glasses will be enforced to check movements of people and goods in and out of the state.

“The Anambra state police command is dedicated to providing security to the people of the state before, on and after the election. Therefore, we need the corporation of the members of the public to achieve this.

“Those with credible security information can call our emergency number: 08060463492 or 09032506317.”
