“Defaulting vehicles shall be impounded by the enforcement taskforce and shall not be released to their owners until the tinted glasses are removed or replaced and the specified fines paid,” he warned.


Onyia further reiterate that the ban was primarily aimed at curtailing the activities of criminals and to generally enhance the security and safety of the good people and residents of Enugu State.


He solicited for the understanding and cooperation of the general public in this regard.
