ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) \u2014 The Nigeria Police Force has begun full enforcement of the country\u2019s tinted glass permit regulations, warning that motorists without valid documentation will face sanctions including fines, vehicle impoundment or prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The enforcement, which took effect Oct. 2, follows months of a grace period after authorities extended the deadline amid public concern. Police said the measure is intended to deter crimes often linked to vehicles with unauthorized tinted windows and to strengthen national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is not about punishing law-abiding citizens,\u201d said Force Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin. \u201cIt is about ensuring safety, transparency, and security on our roads. Those who have genuine reasons for tinted glass should obtain the proper permits through the approved channels.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the rules, vehicle owners must apply for a Tinted Glass Permit through the police portal. \u201cAny motorist found with unauthorized tinted glass will have the vehicle impounded and may be prosecuted in line with existing laws,\u201d Hundeyin said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities urged compliance nationwide and called on citizens to report any abuses during enforcement. \u201cWe are committed to carrying out this exercise fairly and professionally,\u201d Hundeyin added, pledging that the police would not tolerate extortion or harassment under the guise of the enforcement drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
