The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Prohibition of Tinted Glass.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, who said the decision followed a meeting between the police chief and a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association led by its President, Afam Osigwe (SAN), at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

He said the discussion focused on the ongoing enforcement of the tinted glass law and the need for cooperation between the Police and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.

Similarly, the House of Representatives has deliberated on a new bill aimed at tackling criminal activities in the country, particularly kidnapping and banditry.

This followed the public hearing on the Private Intelligence and Investigation Council Bill, 2024, a proposed legislation targeted at reforming private security initiatives across the country.

This bill is designed to build a robust regulatory structure that upholds professionalism, ethics, and accountability within the private intelligence and investigation industry.

Mexico and Spain have become the first two teams to qualify for the quarter-final stage of the ongoing FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Chile, following the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches early Wednesday morning.

In a dramatic fixture that saw the host nation’s dreams shattered, Mexico thrashed Chile 4–1 in front of a stunned home crowd at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago. The match, played on Tuesday night and extending into the early hours, was a crucial test for both sides — but it was the Mexicans who rose to the occasion.

Mexico’s attacking display was led by Hugo Camberos, who netted twice in the second half, with Tahiel Jiménez and Iker Fimbres also finding the back of the net. Chile managed a consolation goal through Juan Rossel, but by then, the outcome had already been sealed.

The result was a bitter blow for the host nation, whose supporters had hoped for a deep run in the tournament. Despite flashes of quality throughout the group stage, Chile was unable to contain a determined and tactically disciplined Mexican side.

Meanwhile, Spain also secured their place in the last eight with a composed performance in their own Round of 16 clash. Though details of their opponent were not immediately available at press time, Spain’s advancement further solidifies their reputation as youth football powerhouses.

Both teams emerged from Group C, widely regarded as the “Group of Death,” which also featured Brazil and Morocco. While Morocco surprisingly topped the group, Spain and Mexico progressed with strong performances and are now proving their worth in the knockout rounds.

The quarter-final fixtures are expected to be announced later today by FIFA, with fans eager to see whether Mexico and Spain can carry their momentum forward in the tournament.

With the competition intensifying and major footballing nations beginning to assert dominance, the road to the final is wide open — and for the host nation, only questions remain.
