The Nigeria Police Force has announced a strict ban on the use of tinted glass and covered number plates in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), citing security concerns and the need to curb criminal activities.
This decision was made by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, during a recent press conference.
According to Commissioner Disu, the indiscriminate use of tinted glass has significantly contributed to lawlessness within the territory.
He explained that several rescued kidnapping victims reported that tinted windows hindered potential helpers from recognizing their distress. Additionally, criminals have exploited vehicles with covered or missing number plates to evade identification and perpetrate unlawful acts.
The FCT Police Command has warned residents that the force will enforce all laws regulating tinted glasses, covered number plates, and vehicles without proper registration. Commissioner Disu emphasized that nobody has the right to tint their vehicles or cover their number plates, as these actions contribute to criminal activities.
The police have already begun impounding vehicles with tinted glass and other related offenses. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance security and ensure the safety of residents in the FCT.
