    The House of Representatives has directed the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command to immediately stop harassing motorists and release vehicles impounded solely for violating tinted glass and covered number plate regulations, provided there are no other infractions.

    The lawmakers also called on the FCT Police Command to issue a public notice granting a 90-day grace period for vehicle owners to comply with the regulations. This move aims to reduce the inconvenience and hardship caused by the abrupt enforcement of the ban.

    According to Rep. Tolani Shagaya, who moved the motion, the FCT Police Command’s directive was intended to enhance security and curb kidnapping.

    However, the lack of adequate public notice and sufficient time for compliance has led to widespread harassment and impounding of vehicles, causing undue hardship and potential economic losses.

    The House emphasized the importance of security measures but stressed that they must be implemented in a manner that respects individuals’ rights and allows for reasonable compliance timelines.

    The lawmakers unanimously adopted the motion and mandated the Committee on Police to develop clear guidelines for future enforcement, ensuring adequate public awareness and reasonable timelines.

    The Federal Ministry of Information and Culture has also been directed to collaborate with stakeholders to launch a comprehensive public enlightenment campaign, informing citizens about the regulations and procedures for obtaining necessary permits or making required modifications to their vehicles.
