Police to enforce tinted glass permit from October in Jigawa

The Nigeria Police Force, Jigawa State Command, has announced that the enforcement of tinted glass permits will commence nationwide on October 2, 2025.

This was disclosed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Shi’isu Adam, in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital.

According to Adam, the online registration and application for the permits is still ongoing, and members of the public are urged to follow the stepwise process on possap.gov.ng for smooth application.

He explained that applicants should create an account using their NIN, BVN, or TIN, verify their account via email, then log in to select the Tinted Glass Permit service and upload their vehicle details along with supporting documents.

“Applicants must carefully confirm all details before submitting their requests and making payments as directed on the portal,” SP Adam emphasised, urging accuracy for fast processing.

He added that after the application, vehicle inspection and fingerprint biometric capturing will be scheduled at designated Nigeria Police Force Intelligence Departments.

For those in Jigawa, the PPRO confirmed that the biometric capturing will be done free of charge at the State Intelligence Department, Police Headquarters in Dutse, the state capital.

Adam also warned the public against patronising unauthorised individuals attempting to exploit the permit process.

“This initiative promotes transparency and ensures road safety for all,” the PPRO said, stressing the police command’s commitment to accountability.

However, the Jigawa Police Command called for cooperation from the public to ensure smooth enforcement and a safer driving environment statewide.

Accordingly, the police spokesperson reminded motorists that complying with this directive safeguards them legally and helps combat illegal window tinting.

He, therefore, assured the public of ongoing updates to build trust and encourage responsible compliance across the state.

“Those planning to apply are advised to begin registration promptly ahead of the enforcement date,” the statement concluded.
