FCT Police Launch Crackdown on Illegal Tinted Vehicles
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has commenced a fresh operation targeting vehicles with illegal tinted windows, concealed number plates and improper registration across Abuja.
FCT Commissioner of Police Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi disclosed the development during a media briefing on Friday.
He said security reports indicated that criminal suspects often use such vehicles to avoid identification and carry out unlawful activities.
According to the police chief, cases of kidnapping and the notorious “one-chance” robberies have been linked to vehicles operating with hidden identities.
Sanusi noted that tinted windows and covered registration plates make it difficult for security agencies to track offenders and investigate crimes.
He stated that enforcement teams have already been deployed across the territory to ensure compliance with existing regulations.
The commissioner clarified that the exercise is aimed at motorists violating the law and not those with valid approvals for tinted glass.
He revealed that more than 30 vehicles have so far been impounded for breaching the regulations and that offenders would face prosecution.
Sanusi urged residents to report suspicious persons, vehicles and activities, stressing that the operation is part of broader efforts to improve security and curb crime in the nation’s capital.

Personnel of the Amotekun security outfit have freed eight individuals who were held captive by suspected kidnappers in Ondo State after a coordinated rescue mission.
Several of those rescued were reportedly abducted from the Ilado area of Akure North Local Government Area.
Among the survivors is Fagbonmire Durojaiye, a cleric and educator affiliated with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where he serves in a pastoral role.
Reports indicate that the abductors initially demanded ₦30 million as payment for the captives’ freedom before the victims were eventually recovered.
