“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.
The Chairman of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Torseer Yina, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the ancient town.
The curfew takes effect from Thursday, October 8, 2026, following unrest and violent protests in the area.
According to reports, the action was taken to contain the unrest and violent protests by members of BEMOA following the death of one of its members by unknown gunmen.
The protest, which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums, turned violent after an angry mob burnt two vehicles belonging to the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.
The Gboko council chairman said the curfew takes effect immediately and warned that anyone caught flouting the order or breaching public peace would be decisively dealt with.
Nine people have died in a fatal road crash along the Ijebu-Ode-Benin Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash occurred on Monday at about 4:55pm around the Bethel area along the Ijebu-Ode/Ore axis of the expressway. It involved a white Toyota Hiace commercial bus belonging to Delta Line and a white Sino truck operated by Bill Gas Solution Ltd.
According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), all nine people involved in the crash, comprising three males and six females, died in the incident.
The FRSC said the crash occurred while it was raining and the road was wet, with preliminary investigations identifying speed violation as the probable cause.
The FRSC rescue team arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the report, while the bodies of the victims were taken to the General Hospital Morgue in Ijebu-Ode.
The Ogun State Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, urged motorists, especially commercial drivers, to obey speed limits and exercise extra caution when driving in the rain.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, speaks on the role and importance of teachers in the world to celebrate Teachers’ Day today.
He spoke on technology and its advancement and shared that while it is going well, teachers can never be replaced.
“These tools can help teachers reach learners and tailor instruction, but the judgement, encouragement and human connection of a skilled teacher remain indispensable,” he said.
“Every doctor, engineer, scientist, entrepreneur and public servant has benefited from a teacher and could not have become what they are today without teachers,” the minister said.
“When we honour teachers, we honour the people who make every other profession possible.”
