The Enugu State Police Command has alerted residents of the state, particularly motorists, that it will commence enforcement of the Vehicle Tinted Glass Permit regulations on 2nd October 2025.
The exercise, in line with existing laws and directives, will be carried out professionally across the State and will apply to all vehicles with tinted glasses, whether factory or non-factory fitted, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, PPRO SP Daniel Ndukwe, said in a press release issued late Tuesday night.
In the press release, the Command said, inter alia, “in addition, the Command will enforce the subsisting ban on the unauthorized use of sirens, revolving lights, Police SPY and unallocated official number plates, as well as the use of unregistered vehicles.”
The Commissioner of Police, Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Department of Operations to oversee the enforcement exercise.
CP Giwa further warned the direct supervisory officers of field operatives to ensure strict compliance with the enforcement ethical guidelines and perform their duties with utmost professionalism, devoid of harassment or extortion of motorists. He stressed that any officer found culpable will be duly sanctioned, while the concerned supervisory officer will be held vicariously liable.
Ndukwe said that motorists yet to register their vehicles with tinted glasses are advised to complete the process at www.possap.gov.ng, after which they should proceed to the Command’s State Intelligence Department (SID), at the State Command Headquarters, GRA, Enugu, for physical verification.
He explained that 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 required.
CP Giwa, however, urged motorists to cooperate with the Police during the exercise and to promptly “report any form of harassment, extortion, or other unprofessional conduct to the nearest Police Station or through the Command’s Complaints Response Unit (CRU) on 09160002486, 07059160602, 08176155557, or via WhatsApp/SMS to 09160002486.”
