The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has commenced a fresh operation targeting vehicles with illegal tinted windows, concealed number plates and improper registration across Abuja.

FCT Commissioner of Police Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi disclosed the development during a media briefing on Friday.

He said security reports indicated that criminal suspects often use such vehicles to avoid identification and carry out unlawful activities.

According to the police chief, cases of kidnapping and the notorious “one-chance” robberies have been linked to vehicles operating with hidden identities.

Sanusi noted that tinted windows and covered registration plates make it difficult for security agencies to track offenders and investigate crimes.

He stated that enforcement teams have already been deployed across the territory to ensure compliance with existing regulations.

The commissioner clarified that the exercise is aimed at motorists violating the law and not those with valid approvals for tinted glass.

He revealed that more than 30 vehicles have so far been impounded for breaching the regulations and that offenders would face prosecution.

Sanusi urged residents to report suspicious persons, vehicles and activities, stressing that the operation is part of broader efforts to improve security and curb crime in the nation’s capital.

BY SUNDAY SAMUEL—The Nigeria Police Force has detained a police sergeant captured in a viral social media video allegedly behaving erratically while dressed in camouflage uniform in Ekiti State.

The officer, identified as a sergeant attached to the Ikole-Ekiti Divisional Police Headquarters, was swiftly taken into custody after the video surfaced online, sparking widespread reactions and concerns over the conduct of personnel within the Force.

Police authorities in Ekiti State said the officer’s actions were found to be grossly inconsistent with the standards, discipline, and professionalism expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force.

Following the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, ordered a comprehensive psychological and medical evaluation of the officer as part of the ongoing disciplinary procedure.

According to the Command, the assessment is intended to determine whether any underlying medical or psychological condition contributed to the conduct displayed in the viral footage before further disciplinary measures are concluded.

Reacting to the incident, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, strongly condemned the officer’s behavior, describing it as a serious violation of the ethics, decorum, and professionalism associated with the police uniform.

The Force reiterated its zero-tolerance stance against substance abuse, misconduct, and any behavior capable of damaging public confidence in the institution.

Police authorities further assured the public that disciplinary measures would be pursued in line with the established regulations of the Force.

The Delta State Police Command has released a statement addressing a widely shared video on social media that appears to show a police officer fatally shooting a young man in Effurun—an incident that has triggered strong public reaction and concern.

In the statement, the Command acknowledged the unlawful killing of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi, stating that it took place on April 26, 2026. It explained that officers from the Effurun Area Command had acted on intelligence suggesting the deceased was intercepted while allegedly trying to ship a package said to contain a Beretta pistol along with four rounds of ammunition.

According to the release, the team leader, ASP Nuhu Usman, violated Force Order 237 and established procedures of the Nigeria Police Force by opening fire, which resulted in the man’s death.

The statement added that the officer has since been detained, formally questioned, and moved to Force Headquarters in Abuja, where he will face the Force Disciplinary Committee for prompt disciplinary action and possible prosecution.

Reacting to the incident, Commissioner of Police Yemi Oryeniyi condemned the act and reassured the public that justice would be pursued. He reiterated the Command’s strict stance against misconduct, recklessness, and unlawful actions.
