The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Mbu Joseph Mbu, yesterday warned motorists with tinted glass vehicles to obtain the necessary permit or be arrested.
“I want to make this pronouncement now: If you do not have a tinted glass vehicle permit formally approved by the Inspector-General of Police and you are not permitted to have tinted glass in your vehicle, you have between today (Monday) and tomorrow (Tuesday) to remove it,” he said.
“No vehicle will ply the streets or the highways within Abuja without an identification mark.
“That is to say, there must be FRSC-approved number plate affixed to your vehicle.
“We are going to enforce this law as from Wednesday this week. Whatever your position is in the society,I am appealing to you to respect the law.”
Reiterating the ban on street hawking, as well as the operations of tricycles in the city areas, he advised operators of tricycles to strictly operate and restrict their operations to the areas the law of the FCT had approved for them.
Giving his assessment of the security situation on the Abuja-Lokoja highway, the former Rivers ComPol said:
“I have gone to Abaji, Kwali and Gwagwalada axis up to the boundary between FCT and Kogi to ascertain that security measures are put in place to secure commuters travelling during the day and at night.
“We want to assure you that we will deal ruthlessly with any group of criminals or hoodlums who engage in unpatriotic, violent crimes on that route.”
Mbu further assured the people of the territory that the police was ready to provide them with adequate security to enable them carry out their lawful businesses.
