Tinted glass permit: IGP warns police against extortion, rights abuse

The Nigeria Police Force has restated plans to resume full enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy from 2 January 2026, citing rising criminal activities involving vehicles with unlawfully tinted windows.

Several Democrats Side With Republicans to Pass Deal Ending Longest US Shutdown

Adekunle Olopade narrates a harrowing experience after being stopped by Nigerian police past midnight at a VGC checkpoint in Lagos. Despite offering his license and car documents (the car belonged to his mother), officers became aggressive, accused him of theft, forcibly searched his vehicle, and ultimately handcuffed him after forceful restraint and intimidation. Officers drove him—against his will—in an unmarked minibus to Area J Command, Elemero, Ibeju-Lekki, separated him, and forced him to write a statement under duress. He was not allowed to contact family or legal counsel, and only released after his mother identified the car and money was withdrawn for the officers. Adekunle recounts his emotional distress and humiliation, highlighting issues of police violence, abuse of power, bribery, and lack of due process in Nigeria. His story ends with a distressing realization about widespread abuse, advising others to […]
