Police Reiterates Enforcement of Tinted Permits Nationwide
The Jigawa State Police Command has announced that enforcement of tinted glass permits will begin across Nigeria on October 2, 2025.
This was revealed in a statement issued in Dutse by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Shi’isu Adam, on Saturday 27th September, 2027.
Adam explained that online registration and application for the permits is already ongoing, urging motorists to carefully follow the outlined procedure on possap.gov.ng for a seamless process.
The Police Public Relations Officer CSP Benjamin Hundeyin corroborated with the statement where he reiterated that the force headquarters in Abuja is ready to commence enforcement of the tinted permits nationwide.
Hundeyin stated on his official Facebook page, where he debunks viral statements on social media highlighting the legal jurisdiction and court case pending on the tinted glass permit enforcement as being lawful and legal within the jurisdiction of the police act.
“It has come to our notice that this is going round. Please do not be misinformed!
Only an order of court can stop the enforcement of an existing law. There is no such order! Mere service of court papers is not equal to a court order. Kindly be guided.
Enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Tinted Glass law commences as planned on Thursday, 2 October 2025.”
Applicants, he said, are required to create an account using their NIN, BVN, or TIN, verify their account via email, then log in to select the “Tinted Glass Permit” service and upload vehicle details with supporting documents.
“Applicants must carefully confirm all details before submitting their requests and making payments as directed on the portal,” SP Adam emphasised, advising accuracy for quicker processing.
He added that once applications are submitted, vehicle inspection and fingerprint biometric capturing will be scheduled at designated Police Intelligence Departments. For Jigawa applicants, he confirmed that biometric capturing would be done free of charge at the State Intelligence Department, Police Headquarters, Dutse.
Adam also cautioned against dealing with middlemen or unauthorised persons seeking to exploit applicants.
“This initiative promotes transparency and ensures road safety for all,” the PPRO said, stressing the command’s commitment to accountability.
The statement urged full public cooperation to ensure smooth enforcement and enhance road safety, while also warning that non-compliance could have legal consequences.
“Those planning to apply are advised to begin registration promptly ahead of the enforcement date,” SP Adam stated.
