The Delta State Police Command wishes to inform the public that the full enforcement of regulations on tinted vehicle glass will commence on Thursday, October 2, 2025, in line with existing federal laws and directives.
This statewide operation will be conducted with professionalism, respect for constitutional rights, and zero tolerance for abuse.
In the same vein, the Command reiterates the subsisting ban on the unauthorised use of sirens and revolving/strobe lights, as well as the covering, defacing, or obstruction of number plates by private individuals and non-entitled officials.
While the Command continues to enforce general traffic and safety regulations, drivers are reminded to carry their essential vehicle documents, including driver’s licence, insurance, and proof of ownership, and to cooperate courteously with officers during lawful stop-and-search procedures. Motorists are also advised to ensure their vehicle glass meets legal transparency standards. All unauthorised sirens and flashing lights should be removed without delay.
Number plates must remain clear, legible, and properly affixed at all times; no bending, flipping, tinting, covering, sticker obstruction, or any alteration that renders them unreadable is permitted.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, assures residents that the clampdown is focused on the immediate stoppage of illegal sirens, unauthorised flashing lights, and tampered number plates.
These measures are intended to curb road intimidation, strengthen deterrence, and improve public safety.
He has directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to closely supervise field operations and ensure civility and full respect for human rights in all engagements.
The CP encouraged members of the public to comply, as defaulters will be made to face the full wrath of the law. Members of the public are also advised to report misconduct through the desk of the Complaint Response Unit, Delta State Police Command: [09155570008, 09011112311, 09064308018, 09066575187].
