In a bid to enhance national security and curb criminal activities facilitated by the misuse of tinted glass, the Nigeria Police Force has concluded its review of the issuance of tinted glass permits, previously banned in June 2022. The ban was initiated due to widespread concerns regarding the role of tinted glass in aiding heinous crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, the illegal transportation of firearms, human trafficking etc.

With the proposed lifting of the ban, stringent measures are being implemented to prevent abuse and ensure strict compliance with guidelines governing the issuance and use of tinted glass permits. ICT Analysts and Enforcement Officers nationwide will undergo a comprehensive training scheduled for the 29th of February, 2024, as a prequel to the reopening of tinted glass permit issuance.

The training will equip ICT Analysts and Enforcement Officers with the necessary skills and knowledge to regulate the registration process, guide registrants on the use of the portal where required, attend to complaints from members of the public, and enforce compliance effectively. It will focus on the intricacies of the new guidelines, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a delicate balance between public safety and individual freedoms while safeguarding national security.

The proposed tinted glass permit will incorporate distinctive features aimed at enhancing enforcement efficiency and security. These include a QR code linked to a central database for real-time verification, unique serial numbers correlated with vehicle and owner details, as well as a digital hologram ensuring authenticity and integrity, among other measures.

It is crucial to highlight that the guidelines for the issuance of tinted permits and the use of tinted glass will strictly adhere to the provisions of the MOTOR VEHICLES (PROHIBITION OF TINTED GLASS) ACT 1991 and other relevant extant laws. This strategic approach underscores the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to prioritize public safety while upholding individual rights and national security interests.

The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to providing updates to the general public on the implementation of the reviewed process of tinted glass permit issuance, ensuring transparency and accountability in its efforts to maintain internal security.

The Nigeria police on Monday stormed the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as both the embattled National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu and Ude Okoye, whom the Court of Appeal declared as the authentic National Secretary of the party are set to resume work today.

DAILY POST reports that both Anyanwu and Okoye are laying claim to the office of the national secretary of the PDP.

The ongoing rustle started after Anyanwu contested for the Imo State governorship election, an exercise he lost to the incumbent.

Upon his return to the party, Okoye who held sway while he was away, challenged his right to return to an office he vacated to contest for an election in his state.

The court had ruled in favour of Okoye and last week.

The PDP national working committee had acknowledged Okoye as the legally recognised National Secretary of the party, maintaining that the party has a high regard for the pronouncement of the Court of Appeal.

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

Chukwuemeka is a loyalist of the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Justice Stephen Jumbo in his ruling nullified the PDP ward, local government and state congresses held in the state in July 2024.

The development is coming barely one month after another High Court nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

The ruling sacked another Wike loyalist, Chief Tony Okocha, as the Rivers State chairman of the APC.

DAILY POST reports that the court’s decision to sack the PDP chairman followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses.

The congresses were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to Wike.

A State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali had on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the ward, local government and state congresses.
