The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved an extension of the grace period for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows.
A statement on Monday by the Force spokesperson, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the new enforcement date is now set for 2 October 2025.
According to the statement, the decision follows a surge in applications through the official portal, indicating increased public compliance.
The extension aims to provide sufficient time for thorough scrutiny of applications to ensure permits are issued only to qualified individuals in line with national security considerations.
It will also allow further fine-tuning of both digital and physical verification processes to maintain the integrity of the system and prevent abuse.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) stressed that the only authorized application platform is https://possap.gov.ng, urging citizens to disregard unofficial channels.
The public is encouraged to report any cases of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the Police via the dedicated hotline 08147818871.
The NPF expressed appreciation for public cooperation and reaffirmed its commitment to balancing convenience with strong security measures to ensure the safety of all Nigerians.
