The Delta State Police Command has announced that it will begin full enforcement of the ban on tinted vehicle glass, unauthorized sirens, and improper number plates from Thursday, October 2, 2025. The command made this known in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Bright Edafe, on Tuesday. According to him, the clampdown will cover tinted windows without permits, sirens, strobe lights, and any form of number plate obstruction. “All unauthorized sirens and flashing lights must be removed immediately. Number plates should remain clear, visible, and properly fixed at all times. No bending, covering, tinting, or sticker obstruction will be allowed,” the statement read in part. The Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Abaniwonda, assured residents that the exercise would be conducted with professionalism. He stressed that officers must respect citizens’ constitutional rights during the operation. “These measures are intended to curb road intimidation, strengthen deterrence, and improve public safety,” the CP said. He directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to monitor the enforcement closely and ensure civility in all engagements. The command also advised motorists to carry all valid documents, including driver’s licence, vehicle insurance, and proof of ownership, to avoid unnecessary confrontation during checks. In addition, residents were encouraged to report any cases of misconduct by police officers through the Complaint Response Unit using the official hotlines provided by the command. The police stressed that the enforcement aligns with federal directives and is aimed at reducing crime, curbing abuse of sirens, and ensuring order on Delta roads. Motorists across the state have been urged to comply with the directive before the October deadline.
