The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has led a delegation of wives of National Assembly members and some wives of State Governors on a condolence visit to the Kaduna residence of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a press statement signed by Busola Kukoyi, SSA Media to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Friday 8th August, 2025, Senator Tinubu was warmly received by the Former First Lady of Nigeria, Dr Aisha Buhari, with whom she shared a heartfelt embrace, reflecting the deep mutual respect and friendship between them.

The visit was marked by moments of comfort and solidarity, as the delegation expressed their sympathy to Dr Aisha Buhari and her family over the passing of the late President.

The Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, alongside the Wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hajia Fatima Tajudeen Abass, and other dignitaries including the Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Amb. Dr Olufolake Abdulrasaq, and the Wife of the Kaduna State Governor, Hajia Hafsat Uba Sanni, joined in offering condolences.

The visit served as a testament to the unity and shared compassion among Nigeria’s leaders and their spouses at all times.

The First Lady had paid a similar visit to the Daura home of the Late National Leader on July 19, leading a delegation made up of Governors and Ministers Wives, as well as Spouses of Service Chiefs.

The Nigerian Police Force has released a prominent activist following intense public pressure and growing support for a revolutionary movement demanding justice and accountability. The activist, who had been held in what supporters described as an “unjust, unwarranted, and entirely unlawful detention,” was freed late Thursday night.

The release marks a significant moment for the movement, which has been calling for systemic reform and an end to what it describes as state repression. According to sources close to the activist, the police had no legal grounds for the arrest and were forced to capitulate under the weight of public scrutiny and advocacy.

Supporters gathered online and in the streets to celebrate the release, hailing it as a victory for civic resistance and a warning to authorities against future abuses of power.

Police officials have yet to issue a formal statement regarding the reasons for the detention or release.

The statement reads:

”The Nigerian Police Force has finally capitulated to the demands of our revolutionary movement. After subjecting me to an unjust, unwarranted, and entirely unlawful detention, they had no choice but to release me tonight”.

”However, this is not a victory to be celebrated with fanfare. It is not a moment for self-congratulation or eased tongues. It is simply a reminder of what we already knew that when we stand together, when we refuse to bow, even the most oppressive institutions are forced to bend or break!

”I am deeply grateful to every one of you who refused to look away, particularly our strong and ever-firm legal team, the advocates for justice, and the resisters who marched on the streets through this ordeal”.

”You all stood firm, raised your voices, and showed up in person, online, and at home in the diaspora”.

”It is your unwavering solidarity that made this outcome inevitable”.

”This moment is not an end. It is fuel. It is proof that unity works and that resistance is not futile. The struggle continues, fiercer and more focused than ever, UNTIL WE WIN!

The Nigeria Police Force will begin enforcement of tinted vehicle permits from Tuesday, 12th of August, 2025.

According to the police, the punishment for not having a valid tinted permit for motorists include payment of fine or six months imprisonment, or both as the case may be.

“Penalties for Offending Without a Valid Permit If you drive with tinted windows without a permit, you can face the following upon conviction:

• Fine: ₦2,000
• Imprisonment: Up to 6 months
• Or both”

It was also noted that offenders will be charged to the Federal High Court where their fate will be determined.

It would be recalled that the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun postponed the enforcement of the tinted permit to August 12, from an earlier day, as announced in June.

The postponement was due to the outrage following the announcement of the permit, in order to enable Nigerians put their documents in order.

The statement reads:

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has approved an extension of the grace period for the enforcement of Tinted Glass Permit requirement to the 12th of August, 2025. This extension comes on the heels of several concerns and feedback expressed by members of the public regarding the reactivation of the digital Tinted Glass Permit application process.

In line with our commitment to delivering transparent, inclusive, and citizen-focused policing, the Force wishes to affirm that it has not ignored the voices of Nigerians. Rather, these voices have been instrumental in guiding ongoing reviews of the process to ensure it remains user-friendly, secure, and accessible to all.

The extension of enforcement is also intended to give room for additional enhancements and refinements to the application process, ensuring that no member of the public is unduly disadvantaged.

The NPF is actively working to simplify and improve both the physical and contactless application options including enhanced verification mechanisms and streamlined procedures to reduce delays and eliminate undue inconveniences.

Members of the public are reminded that the authorized platform for the application and renewal of the Tinted Glass Permit is accessible via http://possap.gov.ng. Citizens are also encouraged to report all unauthorized or hidden charges as well as extortion in the course of application or biometric capturing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000.

The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to public safety, digital innovation, and continuous improvement in service delivery, and appreciates the cooperation and patience of the Nigerian people as these reforms are carried out.
