“Intelligence reports indicate that people with dubious characters hide behind tinted glasses to perpetrate crime, thereby concealing their identity from security operatives and good members of the public”, the Command said.

“The Commissioner of Police, therefore, gave all police formations and Divisional Police Officers across the state a marching order to arrest and prosecute motorists who violate any of the traffic regulations with effect from Monday 10th July 2023”, the statement said.
In the statement, the State Commissioner of Police admonished motorists and other road users to adhere to all laid down traffic regulations and shun drugs while driving.
