The Delta State Police Command has announced that full enforcement of regulations on tinted vehicle glass, siren, and number plate will begin on Thursday, October 2, 2025.
The command in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Bright Edafe, on Tuesday, said the operation would be carried out across the state in line with federal laws and directives.
According to Edafe, the clampdown will also cover unauthorized use of sirens, revolving or strobe lights, and defacing or obstruction of number plates by private individuals and non-entitled officials.
“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 statement partly read.
The Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, assured residents that the operation would be conducted with professionalism and respect for constitutional rights.
“These measures are intended to curb road intimidation, strengthen deterrence, and improve public safety,” he added.
The CP directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to supervise the exercise closely and ensure civility in all engagements.
The command advised motorists to carry their essential vehicle documents, including driver’s licence, insurance, and proof of ownership, and to cooperate with officers during stop-and-search procedures.
It also urged the public to report misconduct by personnel through the Complaint Response Unit of the command via phone numbers provided.
