The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has warned against the use of covered number plates, vowing to arrest any vehicle driving with closed number plate.

The Command also warned that vehicles without proper permit for tinted glasses would be subjected to thorough checks and investigation.

Spokesperson of the FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh said the warning became necessary in view of recent security concerns within the FCT, particularly over the past weekend.

She said, “The FCT Police Command on Monday, 7th July 2025, activated a robust and intelligence-led operational strategy aimed at tackling criminal elements and ensuring the continued safety of residents.

“As part of these efforts, the Command will intensify stop-and-search operations at key flashpoints, targeting individuals involved in ‘one-chance’ robberies, vandalism, and the activities of scavengers who pose a growing security threat.

“The operation will also clamp down on unauthorised persons using diplomatic plate numbers to commit crime and evade law enforcement.

“Members of the public are strongly advised to avoid driving vehicles with covered number plates, vehicles without number plates, or those bearing only one plate.

“Likewise, individuals using vehicles with tinted glasses must ensure they possess valid tinted permit documents. Vehicles found in violation of these requirements may be subjected to thorough checks, and the drivers may be delayed.”

The Command urged all FCT residents to cooperate with officers on duty, remain law-abiding, and exercise patience, stressing that these measures were being implemented for the safety of all.

The FCT Command further apologised for any inconvenience this may cause residents and appeal for the public understanding and support during this period.
