The acting police Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that documents such as vehicle licence, driver’s licence, and certificate of insurance, especially for private car owners are the documents that need to be shown to the police on demand at any checkpoint or on routine patrol. This was stated via the official Twitter handle Sunday morning.

“Any policeman demanding for more is a deviant and he must be dealt with. If not, many Nigerians will suffer from him and his likes. Don’t die in silence, speak out to save yourself and others. I will still be on this issue soon,” he tweeted. “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 further noted that the police are to stop any vehicle with tints, search the vehicles, and its occupants, but not delay the driver for not having tinted glass permits.

“Report them if you are so delayed so that we ask them questions,” he wrote on the microblogging platform. “Please take note that police don’t demand allocation of number papers, it is not necessary, since a vehicle has been registered, all you need to have with you as mentioned are vehicle licence, certificate of insurance and driver’s licence. Simple.”

The Nigeria police is one of the most useless organization in this country. Most of the papers outlined are out of their jurisdictions to check e.g, drivers license, and vehicle particular. They don't issue and they don't have the right to check, unless there's a breech.
