FCT Police Enforce Tinted Glass Ban, Seize Over 30 Vehicles
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has intensified enforcement of Nigeria’s tinted glass regulations, impounding more than 30 vehicles during a special operation across Abuja. According to the police, many of the affected vehicles were found using heavily tinted windows without the required authorisation, a practice security agencies say can aid criminal activities by concealing occupants and weapons.
FCT Commissioner of Police Ajao Adewale stated that the operation is part of broader efforts to strengthen security, improve visibility during stop-and-search operations, and curb crimes such as kidnapping, robbery, and car theft. The command warned motorists to comply with existing regulations governing tinted glass permits, stressing that further enforcement exercises will continue across the territory.

Tonto Dikeh Warns Against Seeking Public Validation
Actress and politician Tonto Dikeh has cautioned people against relying on public approval to determine their self-worth, arguing that constant validation from others can lead to disappointment and emotional instability. In a message shared on social media, she encouraged individuals to build confidence from within, focus on personal growth, and avoid making life decisions based solely on public opinion or online reactions.
Dikeh noted that public sentiment can be unpredictable, with the same people who praise someone today potentially criticising them tomorrow. She therefore urged her followers to prioritise self-belief, authenticity, and inner peace over external validation and social media approval.
