“No One Has The Right To Tint Their Vehicle” FCT Police Bans Vehicles With Tinted Glasses
Due to recent security concerns across the country, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has announced plans to enforce a strict ban on vehicles with tinted glasses.
This decision, aimed at curbing criminal activities and improving public safety, was revealed by the Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters in Abuja.
CP Disu emphasized that no individual has the right to tint their vehicle’s windows, pointing out that such modifications have contributed significantly to lawlessness in the country.
He mentioned how tinted glasses have been exploited by criminals to carry out illegal activities undetected, while also preventing timely intervention in emergencies.
He explained, We are clamping down on all commercial vehicles and private cars with tinted windows.
We need to ensure visibility inside vehicles for security reasons.
Many rescued kidnap victims have told us that tinted glasses made it impossible for others to realize they were in distress.
This lack of transparency has been a key factor in prolonging their ordeals.
The Commissioner also raised concerns about the trend of obscured or missing number plates, which are often used by criminals to evade identification.
Some deliberately cover their plates, while others entirely remove them, making it harder for law enforcement to track their activities.
This, according to him, poses a serious challenge to efforts aimed at ensuring public safety.
CP Disu warned residents of Abuja that the police would begin strict enforcement of laws against tinted glasses and other violations.
This is a clear message to all FCT residents that, henceforth, no one has the right to tint their vehicle.
We are fully committed to enforcing this law for the safety of everyone in the territory.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
