Following the surging security crisis in the country, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command has vowed to impound all vehicles with tinted glasses.

The Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu disclosed this during a press conference at the command’s headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to him, nobody has the right to tint vehicle glasses, stating that “tinted glasses are contributing to a lot of lawlessness in the country.

He said, “We are clamping down on all commercial vehicles and everybody tinting their vehicles. We need to see people in their vehicles.

“A lot of rescued kidnap victims have told us that the tinted glasses made it impossible for people to know that they were in distress.

“A lot of the criminals, at the same time, cover their number plates. While some of them deliberately refused to put numbers on their vehicles.

“This is to warn all residents of the FCT that henceforth, Police will enforce all laws on tinted glasses. Nobody has the right to tint his or her vehicle’.

Mark this date, come back to FCT in 3-6 months time and see if anything changes. Former Inspector Generals sang this song before, same as former s. Which policeman for example will lay his dirty claws on a G900 or Land Cruiser with OEM tinted glasses?

Can your officers arrest the president or governor who’s using tinted or the law is just for the ordinary masses

Agree with the police here.

For years I have always been suspicious of those who tint their car glasses. It's like...what are you hiding? Who are you hiding from?

Business don come for police

Criminals looking for avenue to meet their December target.

So tinted is now the crime? While terrorists who don't hide their faces cannot be captured!

But the police issues tinted permit.

Is this for Abuja only?

I hope the Nigerian police is aware that most cars from 2012 upwards comes with a slightly tinted back window. Hope they wouldn't start harassing owners of such vehicles cos that's how the car was manufactured.

The enforcement should be on car owners who tint both the front and back windows.

Where can I tint my glass in Abuja Please?

Their wahala does not cover factory tinted glasses . In other countries, there is a permissible degree of tint . If it is darker you are fined and asked to remove it . I understand the level of insecurity is high , but the police have to be much proactive by ensuring compliance . Most Nigerians with tints will rather settle and after a while pressure from powerful people will make the soft pedal

What exactly is the problem with tinted vehicles, the fact a driver wants to limit the amount of sun rays into his vehicle isn't none of your business.

Why will an individual even board a tinted vehicle.
