The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command to stop indiscriminate harassment of motorists for violations related to tinted glasses and covered number plates.
The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion of urgent national importance moved at the plenary on Tuesday by Muktar Shagaya. The House also called on the FCT Police Command to issue a public notice granting a grace period of no less than 90 days, during which vehicle owners can take necessary steps to comply with the regulations concerning tinted glasses and number plates.
Presenting the motion, Shagaya expressed concern over the recent directive by the FCT Police Command enforcing a ban on vehicles with tinted glasses and covered number plates, as part of efforts to curb rising criminal activities such as kidnapping. Shagaya said while the intent of this directive was to enhance security within the FCT, the abrupt enforcement without adequate public notice has led to widespread harassment of motorists and significant inconvenience to law-abiding citizens.
