The Nigeria Police Force has declared that it will recommence the enforcement of the tinted glass permit across the country, pending the final decision from the court.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, made this announcement in a statement on Monday.
Hundeyin emphasized that this enforcement is part of efforts to address the increasing levels of insecurity in the nation, as it has been observed that certain individuals and criminal organizations have been taking advantage of the halted enforcement of tinted glass permits to engage in armed robbery, kidnapping, and other violent offenses.
The Force spokesperson further indicated that the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit will restart on January 2, 2026.
According to the statement, the court has not issued any order preventing the Nigeria Police Force from enforcing the regulations concerning the tinted glass permit law.
However, the policy had been temporarily suspended by the Force to allow citizens the chance to comply.
It was also noted that enforcement must now be reinstated while awaiting the final resolution of the court, in light of the current security situation in the country.
“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to inform the general public about the upcoming resumption of the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy pending the final determination of the matter currently before the court.
“This decision comes after a thorough evaluation of emerging security issues and the necessity to ensure the safety of all citizens.
“It is crucial to clarify that the court has never restrained the Nigeria Police Force from enforcing the stipulations of the law regarding the use of tinted glass on vehicles.
“Nevertheless, in the interest of responsibility, transparency, and public convenience, the Force had suspended enforcement to provide motorists with sufficient time to regularize their documentation and complete the registration process without undue pressure,” the statement concluded.
