The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has reactivated the issuance of Tinted Glass Permits (TGP) nationwide through a “secure and user-friendly” platform.
He said the move comes in response to widespread public complaints about the harassment of motorists over the use of tinted windows.
According to the spokesman, the initiative reflects the need for a clear, transparent, and accountable process for regularising factory-fitted tinted glass on vehicles.
“With modern automobiles increasingly manufactured with tinted windows it has become essential to provide a standardised system that accommodates legitimate use while ensuring public safety,” the statement reads.
“Vehicles have often been exploited for criminal purposes, including kidnapping, armed robbery, ‘one-chance’ scams, and other forms of banditry. Their use hampers police visibility and impedes effective law enforcement, thereby contributing to public insecurity.”
