Nollywood Star actor , James Ikechukwu Asomugha popularly known as Jim lyke was arrested and ordered out of his car for going against laid down rules. The actor whic was driving an automobile with tinted Glasses was accosted by men of the Nigerian Police and Federal Road Safety Corps. The law enforcement agents said he failed to comply with the Nigerian Government rule that those with tinted Glasses in Cars should remove them by February 28 2011 across the Country.
Obviously embarrassed by the whole development, Jim Iyke has no choice than to let the law enforcement agents have their way unlike in films where he would have had his way.

He is known to have played several gangster roles in movies.Jim Iyke’s profile is also on the increase as far as the most fashionable male nollywood star is concerned. Well travelled and connected, Jim Iyke is also a ladies man any day.In the past, the media has linked him to Steph Nora Okere and Rita Dominic and several others.

mama-gee:

It doesn't surprise me that the Nigerian Police would arrest someone over tinted glasses

when they are robbers and criminals roaming over the streets of the country.

I can bet he was arrested in a plot to get money from him because there's no law in the world that's against tinted glasses.

Mamagee, If the law says no more cars with tinted windows, then abide by the rules. Simple.

I hope they didnt hurt him sha

flog am welu welu

Siena:

What an exaggerated report. Arrested? More likely he was stopped, and ordered to remove the tints (or they were removed on the spot). As far as I'm aware, "arrest" would mean Jim Iyke was removed, taken to the police station, possibly charged and bailed.

Why do Nigerian reporters go over the top in their "news"?

correct observation

me I know see any tinted glass all I see from the picture is a convertible car lol

sayso:

flog am welu welu

HATERS THEY WOULD SOON START YARNING TRASH   they didnt not flog him and let it pain u well well, highest he would pay fine! thats all beside not everyone heard the news it took my silblings to inform me about the new development for me to remove mine i didnt hear when they gave the annoucement!!!!!!!!

so get a life hater!!!!!!!!

sayso:

flog am welu welu

Na wa for u, For wat he legally acquired, just dey open mouth dey talk rubbish

Mama-Gee you are right, but do you know with this tinted glasses, its much easier for hoodlums to commit crime.

Is this not a SCENE from one of them Nigeriawood movies

, the Law that was said to be passed and effected from Feb,2011, what about people that already has a permit for the tinted? are we meant to still go and remove our tinted glass? pls. i need responses. thanks

lol

All these crap about tinted glasses. it has been helpful to me as those boyz on the bridge do not know either the occupant or what i am carrying (in terms of Luga), but now, they are going to expose my invincibility and i have become open to attack in the traffic. I am begining to have a rethink about my continued stay in this country ooo. Can't they just be serious for once and devise more ingenious ways of detecting crimes and criminals?  

Laws are made to be obeyed, so I say, let the law prevail. However, we'd all be better off if other laws are similarly enforced.

Hmmn. . . Nigeria police don dey pull weight lol

law are meant to be obey, everyone should obey the law, no one is above the law

Limaoscar:

ohh but seriously, i think so too. The shots are too close to believe they're real.

This law is seriously being enforced. My tint has been stripped twice now, wheneva I see the forces, I wind down asap. Coincidentally, I made up my mind to finally strip 'em myself today. The cops offered me an explanation in which they cited kidnapping and recent security issues.
Apparently, even the IGP is not exempted

Yup. All permits have been cancelled.

@Cosby all tinted permit had expired by d new law because of security reason,but Nigeria law only affect oppositions .

9ce:

Mama-Gee you are right, but do you know with this tinted glasses, its much easier for hoodlums to commit crime.

I agree with you; Same way all the hoodlums in power from Aso Rock down to to LGA chairmen use tinted vehicles. I hope this law applies to them too

I can believe this guy is going through all this . . . . . .

Nigerian corps are just  . ,  .   . . .Honestly I agreed with mama G on this . . . .We have so many offences out there but we still after tints glasses . . . . .So disappointing
I wouldn't blame Jim for having a tinted glasses,Cause we all understand the situation in the country,Nollywood star like Jim is vulnerable to attacks anywhere from anybody on the street . . .And as we all know there is no security in the country!!! . . . .It's still funny though
I don't like the guy anyway but the fact must be admitted.

Sorry sir but you are also affected. The press release says whether you have permit or not excluding factory fitted tinted glasses.

All tinted permits stand revoked with the exception of factory fitted glasses. The trouble is that our jobless and overzealous police force wouldn't know the difference.

@Slap 1, i agree wit you completely. But just give these guys 2 months from now, they will all grow fat with the new law
Na money making venture be this now.

What do you mean

There isnt such global law against tinted glasses, but dont take d fact that bc d world is a global village, n begin to assume wot is obtainable in US shud b in Uk or Nigeria. There is always variation in Govt legislations from country to country as it seems fit for the pipo being governed by such legislations. For examples, Abortions, Gay marriages and so on in America n UK have their legislations to suit the pipo therein. I doubt if there is any in Nigeria that goes in agreement with that of Uk or America.
As a matter of fact, i have read this particular acticle some weeks ago on NL that the FRN has banned the  use of tinted glasses. I dont live in Nigeria, and i'm conscious of that since it has been banned. I see no reason why Jim SHOULD GO AGAINST SUCH, EVEN BEING A STAR SHUD BE THE MAJOR REASON HE SHUD ABIDE BY IT CUS HE IS SEEN AS A ROLE MODEL TO MANY BOTH IN NIGERIA N OVERSEAS. Cheers.

the police should refund all payments made out to them in respect of the tinted glass. what is wrong with tinted glass, they should be ready to fight the public. These fools collected money as permit for the glasses, and now they cancelled the permits. I need my refund or we meet in court.
