As reported by Vanguard, the Nigeria Police Force says enforcement of tinted-glass permit requirements will resume from January 2, 2026, framing it as part of a broader anti-crime posture.
The announcement signals a return to stricter checks on compliance, amid recurring debates about extortion risk at checkpoints versus legitimate security needs.
SaharaReporters: “necessary and urgent to resume full enforcement…to safeguard our communities.”
Premium Times: “starting from 2 January 2026…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: Implementation will determine public acceptance. Watch for clear permit workflows, fee transparency, exemptions, and disciplinary action against extortion—otherwise compliance checks may become another friction point.
