The Edo State Police Command has warned that anyone caught driving vehicles with unauthorized tinted glasses will be immediately arrested.
The Edo State Commissioner of Police, Iwo Nemi, also ordered the arrest of individuals driving unregistered vehicles, or vehicles with covered plate numbers.
Nemi conveyed the directive via a statement issued to journalists on Wednesday by the Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Moses Yamu.
The commissioner said the strategy was meant to curb the rising cases of kidnapping, robbery, and cultism in the state.
While also directing that such vehicles be impounded, he warned that the law would be strictly enforced without exception.
According to him, the general public is, by this notice, warned to desist from using such vehicles to avoid being arrested because the law is a respecter of nobody and no one will be spared.
He further appealed to the people of the state to cooperate with the police in its quest to ensure the safety of lives and property of the general public, especially during this period of the build-up to the election.
Police Arrest Naval Officer For Killing Ex-Naval Chief’s Son
Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command has arrested a Nigerian Navy personnel, Abdul Rasheed Muhammad, for the murder of Aminu, the son of former Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral I. I. Ibrahim (retd).
The Commissioner of Police in FCT, Bennett Igweh, while parading the suspect said Muhammad killed Aminu and stole his car two weeks ago.
Igweh confirmed that the car had been recovered.
He said, “About two weeks ago, Aminu Ibrahim, the son of Vice Admiral I. I. Ibrahim (retd), a former Chief of Naval Staff, was robbed and killed in the Maitama area of Abuja, and his Prado SUV was taken.
“I want to inform you that Abdul Rasheed Muhammad, a serving Nigerian Navy personnel, committed the murder. He has confessed to the crime, and we have recovered the Prado Jeep.”
Speaking with journalists, Muhammad said he is a seaman in the Navy deployed to the former Chief of Naval Staff’s residence.
He said, “I work at the house. He wanted to go out at night, around 11:30. He said he needed security.
“So, I followed him with my gun. Along the way, he stopped to check his ATM, as if he was going to buy something.
“I thought maybe I was going to escort him to a market or somewhere. Then, when I came out through the other door, I shot him, took the car, and left. I’m a guard and a seaman in the Navy. He did not do anything to me; I killed him to steal his car.”
