The Minister of Police Affairs, Humphrey Abah revealed this at a press conference in Abuja, "with effect from February 28, 2011, owners of tinted vehicles would be made to remove them by policemen on the spot, CAP M21, Motor vehicle prohibiting tinted glass Act, forbids use of heavily filmed cars." he said.

Mr. Abah said, the Federal Road Safety Corps and Road Traffic Services personnel are to assist the police in enforcing the law, and cars with factory-fitted tinted glasses are exempted from the directive. With this new directive ,only the President, his vice, governors, the Senate President, his deputy and majority leader as well as the Speaker, House of Representatives are permitted to use tinted glasses in the country.

HELP CONFIRM

I HAVE A CAR WITH TINT AND TINTED PERMIT

WILL THEY GIVE ME MY CHANGE BACK. OR WHAT NOW.

Somebody should challenge this nonsense in the courts. Why must Nigerians pay for the incompetence of their law enforcement agancies.

You cannot wear clothes with camouflage patterns.
You cannot drive vehicles with tinted windows
In some places, women cannot wear trousers. ( I wonder if that is also a security threat )
Drivers constantly harrassed by custom officers, not at the borders but right inside of the country!

And the list goes on.

Let the courts decide. Is Nigeria a free country or a dictatorship?
