“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.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid tribute to late Nigerian actor Olu Jacobs, recalling his contributions to the creative industry and his impact on Nigeria’s cultural identity.
In his tribute, Tinubu described Jacobs as a giant of the Nigerian creative industry and said “He was a giant of the Nigerian creative industry. His passing is a great loss to Nigeria, the African film industry and the global community of lovers of the performing arts. His remarkable body of work will continue to speak to generations yet unborn.
“The nation recognises the enormous contributions of Nigeria’s creative practitioners to the country’s cultural identity, global image and economic development. Olu Jacobs played a big role in creating this identity.”
Human rights lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare a state of emergency over the proliferation of counterfeit and substandard drugs and consumer products in Nigeria.
Adeyanju also called for the removal of the Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, as well as the heads of other regulatory agencies, including the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON).
“Nigerians are being exposed to dangerous products daily, from fake and substandard medicines to unsafe consumer goods, with reports of drugs being sold wholesale in the open under the hot sun. No responsible government should expose its citizens to such risks and expect mortality rates not to rise.”
Adeyanju also called out NAFDAC over what he described as failures in regulating the circulation of counterfeit and substandard products in the country.
It can be noted that various counterfeit products continue to circulate in Nigerian markets, while NAFDAC has also reported seizures and destruction of counterfeit, expired and substandard products.
Lagosians have lamented heavy traffic caused by ongoing construction work at Kara Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The Federal Government announced that repairs on the damaged expansion joints at Kara Bridge would begin on September 8, 2026. The project, initially scheduled to begin in August, was delayed to allow further traffic management planning due to concerns over its impact on motorists.
Since work began, traffic around the Kara area has become heavy, with Lagosians sharing updates on social media about spending two hours or more on the road.
Some commuters say the delays have made their 9-to-5 routines difficult, with several hours spent travelling to and from work.
