JUST IN: Governor Hope Uzodinma gives commercial drivers in Imo state, 72-hour deadline to remove tinted windows from cars or face strict consequences.

The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to commercial drivers operating in the state with tinted vehicles to remove them within the stipulated time or face the full weight of the law.
The order was made known in a press release from the office of the Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Oguwike Nwachukwu, and made available to journalists.
Nwachukwu, in the press statement, informed that the governor has directed law enforcement agencies to assist government officials in clamping down on any commercial vehicle driver operating with tinted glasses once the 72-hour deadline elapses.
He stated that the order to clamp down on all tinted vehicles used for commercial activities became necessary following a series of reports concerning the use of such vehicles—mainly buses—to perpetrate criminal activities around the state.
“Consequently, all bus drivers operating in the state with such vehicles have been given 72 hours within which to remove their tinted glasses or face full weight of the law.
“Of late, intelligent reports revealed that most of the commercial vehicles, particularly the commercial buses with tinted glasses, were deployed for criminal activities, such as kidnapping, armed robbery, hit-and-run, among others, within the state,” the press release stated.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor added that security agencies have been advised to collaborate with certain government officials to ensure that the new directive is carried out to the letter in order to check the rise in criminal activities allegedly caused by the use of commercial buses with tinted glasses.
He further informed that defaulters caught after the 72-hour ultimatum will be brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others who may fail to comply with the new order.

Senate insists Natasha remains suspended, declines senator’s request to resume

The Senate has turned down Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s request to return to legislative duties, insisting that her six-month suspension is still in force until the Court of Appeal rules on her case.
In a letter signed by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, the Senate acknowledged receiving the senator’s notice that she planned to resume on September 4, 2025, which she said marked the end of her suspension.
But the Senate pointed out that her suspension started on March 6, 2025, and added that the matter is sub judice since it is already before the Court of Appeal.
“The matter remains sub judice, and until the judicial process is concluded, no administrative action can be taken to facilitate your resumption,” the letter stated.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, was suspended in March after the Senate accused her of breaching its standing orders.
While the Federal High Court in Abuja upheld the suspension, she has since taken the matter to the Court of Appeal.

Former Kogi West lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has described the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as dead and buried.
Melaye disclosed that APC agents from the Presidential Villa are controlling the PDP.
The key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, disclosed this while featuring on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday night.
According to Melaye: “Apart from our Lord Jesus Christ no dead can rise again and I want to tell you that whatever you are seeing is make-shift, the dead is dead, we can only advertise the obituary.
“Dead and buried, PDP was sold and I’m not sure if they got the receipt of payment but it was sold and what you have now is APC controlled PDP.
“It’s a party that is being controlled from the Villa, it’s the agents of the APC that controls the PDP.”
Reacting to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State’s remark regarding the party, Melaye said: “If a sitting governor is saying let’s have a party first, it means that there is no party.
“I’m a proud member of the ADC and that is the party that will unseat Tinubu and by the grace of God send Tinubu out of the Villa, come may 29, 2027.”
