FCT police begins enforcement of ban on tinted glass
Police say the crackdown targets vehicles used by kidnappers and one-chance robbers, and more than 30 have already been impounded.
- On Friday, the FCT Police Command impounded more than 30 vehicles in Abuja for violating traffic regulations, including unauthorized tinted glasses and obscured number plates.
- FCT Commissioner of Police Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi said the operation targets kidnapping and violent robberies, following directives from Inspector General of Police IGP Tunji Disu to enforce regulations strictly.
- Owners of impounded vehicles will face prosecution under the FCT Road Transport Regulations Act, though Sanusi emphasized the exercise is not intended to inconvenience law-abiding residents with legitimate tint approvals.
- This enforcement occurs amid lingering uncertainty regarding the Nigeria Police Force's tinted glass permit policy, which was suspended nationwide on January 1, 2026, following an interim court order.
- The Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to intelligence-led policing and urged residents to report suspicious activities through the nearest police station to strengthen security within the capital.
