Inspector-General Says Fully-Tinted Vehicles Unacceptable in Nigeria

Olatunji Disu, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP), expressed his intention to impose a complete ban on tinted vehicles across the nation if it were solely within his authority. He contended that fully tinted windows present significant security threats and are often misused by kidnappers, armed robbers, and 'one-chance' operators.

The IGP made these comments in Abuja while addressing concerns brought forth by Afam Osigwe (SAN), the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). The NBA president specifically criticized the commercialization and renewal process for tinted glass permits, although he recognized that the police should continue to oversee their general usage.

This position highlights the ongoing stringent regulations regarding the use of tinted glass on vehicles within the country. Every vehicle equipped with tinted glass in Nigeria must possess an official tinted glass permit issued by the police. The Nigeria Police Force has previously implemented a digital system for vehicle owners to apply for and secure these permits.

While local commands regularly initiate the enforcement of tint regulations, the policy has encountered resistance, with regional courts occasionally suspending nationwide enforcement.
The enforcement of the tinted glass ban is primarily focused in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), yet the Inspector-General of Police has publicly expressed a wish for a nationwide prohibition.
