The Nigeria Police Force has clarified that the extension of the deadline for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows is due to increasing compliance.

The police extended the enforcement date from August 12, 2025, to October 2.

In a statement released on Monday, Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi disclosed this.

He stressed that increased applications by vehicle owners showed heightened public compliance.

“This decision follows a significant increase in applications via the official platform, showing heightened public compliance,” he stated.

He added that, “The extra time will allow thorough scrutiny of each application to ensure permits go only to qualified individuals, in line with national security considerations.”
