The Nigeria Police Force has announced that it will begin full-scale enforcement of tinted glass permit regulations across the country starting October 2, 2025.
In a statement released on Monday, the Force Public Relations Officer disclosed that the decision follows the expiration of the grace period earlier granted to motorists who had been using vehicles with tinted windows without proper authorization.
The enforcement exercise, according to the police, is aimed at enhancing national security, curbing the activities of criminals who take advantage of unauthorized tinted glasses, and ensuring compliance with existing traffic regulations.
Motorists are advised to obtain the approved tinted glass permit through designated channels and to carry their permits at all times while driving. The police emphasized that only permits issued by the Nigeria Police Force remain valid, warning that fake or forged permits will attract prosecution.
“The use of unauthorized tinted glass not only contravenes existing traffic laws but also poses a serious challenge to security operations. From October 2, our officers nationwide will be mandated to arrest and prosecute any offender in line with the law,” the statement read.
The Force also reassured Nigerians that enforcement would be conducted with professionalism and respect for citizens’ rights. However, it cautioned motorists against offering bribes to officers, stressing that erring security personnel who exploit the exercise for extortion will also be dealt with.
The Nigeria Police encouraged members of the public to report cases of misconduct during the enforcement period through dedicated hotlines and official platforms.
With the announcement, motorists across the country are now expected to ensure full compliance before the October 2 deadline to avoid penalties, fines, or vehicle impoundment.
