“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.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
