the nigeria police force has made public its intention to restart the enforcement of the tinted glass permit.
this information was released in a press statement delivered to journalists and was signed by the force public relations officer, csp benjamin hundeyin.
he stated that this return to policy enforcement is set to occur pending the final court ruling on the current legal matter.
the police decided to resume enforcement after carefully assessing new security risks and recognizing the need to guarantee the safety of all citizens.
the actual date for the resumption of tinted glass permit enforcement is january 2, 2026.
the statement clarified that the court has never legally prevented the nigeria police force from enforcing the existing laws concerning the use of tinted glass on vehicles.
the force had initially paused enforcement out of a commitment to responsibility, transparency, and public ease, giving car owners sufficient time to complete their registration and get their necessary documentation without feeling rushed.
however, the police noted that certain individuals and criminal organizations have taken advantage of this suspension to hide their identities, thereby assisting in committing serious offenses like armed robbery, kidnapping, and other violent acts. consequently, the nigeria police force now views the full resumption of enforcement as essential and urgent, treating it as a preventive measure to protect our society.
the inspector-general of police, igp kayode adeolu egbetokun, gave assurances to the public that this renewed enforcement effort will be executed with the highest degree of professionalism, respecting the rights of citizens, and strictly adhering to current laws.
finally, the statement strongly advised all motorists who require the tinted glass permit to apply via the official, designated channels and ensure their vehicles fully adhere to all required legal processes.
