Tinted Glass Permits: Real Identity of Police Officer Demanding Money from Driver Exposed

In a viral video, the identity of a police officer asking for a bribe from a driver for not having a tinted glass permit has been revealed.

The driver in a post on his Twitter account had accused the police operative of asking for a twenty thousand Naira bribe.

The incident happened days after the Nigeria Police Force barred its operatives from requesting customs papers and tinted glass permits from motorists at checkpoints in the country.

The announcement was made following the suspension of the issuance of tinted glass permits.

The acting spokesman of the force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi had asked Nigerians to report police officers who delay them over tinted glass permits and customs paper.

Adejobi wrote, “No policeman 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 (the) issuance of tinted glass permits. So, we don’t expect our men to disturb Nigerians on this.”

Adejobi while reacting to the incident after police officers were warned against disturbing Nigerians disclosed that the policeman has been identified.

According to Adejobi, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, has taken over the matter.

on Twitter, He wrote ”My people, this policeman has been identified as Insp Dele Ruben, attached to Area F, Ikeja, Lagos State. The Commissioner of Police Lagos State has taken over the matter for necessary action. I believe in his action and judgment on the matter. Let’s wait for the feedback. Thanks.”
