The Lagos State Police Command will begin full enforcement of the tinted glass permit regulations from October 2, 2025, in line with directives from the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun. The move is aimed at enhancing public safety and curbing crime.
In view of the above, vehicle owners who are yet to register are strongly advised to obtain the approved Tinted Glass Permit at possap.gov.ng. Those who are not desirous of obtaining the Tinted Glass Permit are advised to remove such tints or replace the factory-fitted glasses with transparent ones, as legally provided by the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act 2004. Vehicles with tinted glasses without the permit will be impounded, and offended prosecuted.
Motorists are advised to carry valid documents and cooperate during lawful police checks. The Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, has stressed professionalism and warned against harassment or extortion by officers. He emphasized that any officer found culpable will face appropriate disciplinary action, while their supervisory officer will also be held vicariously liable.
