The Lagos state Police command intensified its enforcement of the law regulating the use of tinted glass on vehicles on October 3, 2025, with the operation personally led and monitored by the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh.

The exercise, which began on October 2, is aligned with existing laws and directives from the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun.

The CP Jimoh was on the field with his officers to ensure the enforcement was carried out strictly but with a high level of professionalism.

CP Jimoh reiterated that the enforcement was designed to enhance public safety, curb criminal activities, and ensure adherence to road safety regulations, not to inconvenience law-abiding citizens.

“The command strongly advises vehicle owners to comply immediately and immediately obtain a Permit while the vehicle owners must register for the approved Tinted Glass Permit at www.possap.gov.ng ,” he said.

The command also stated that those not seeking a permit must remove unauthorised tints or replace factory-fitted tinted glass with transparent ones, as required by the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 2004.

“Vehicles found without valid permits will be impounded, and offenders will be prosecuted,” the CP said.

CP Jimoh issued a strong directive to all police personnel, commanding them to conduct the exercise free from harassment or extortion.

He stressed that any officer found engaging in misconduct will face disciplinary measures, with their commanders also being held vicariously liable.

The command urged the public to cooperate with officers during the exercise, emphasising that the operation was in the collective interest of security.
