Police Begin Enforcement of Tinted Glass Permit Regulations in Kwara

The Kwara State Police Command has started enforcing regulations on tinted glass permits for vehicles across the state.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Ilorin, the command’s spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, announced that Deputy Commissioner of Police Ladi Suleiman, who oversees Operations, has been tasked by Commissioner of Police Adekimi Ojo to coordinate and supervise the enforcement exercise.

The exercise, carried out in line with existing laws and directives, targets all vehicles with tinted glass, whether factory-installed or added afterward. The enforcement will be conducted professionally throughout Kwara State.

Commissioner Ojo advised motorists without the required tinted glass permits to register online at www.possap.gov.ng, followed by physical verification at the State Intelligence Department in the Police Headquarters, Ilorin.

The statement also urged those unwilling to obtain permits to remove their tinted glasses or replace factory-fitted tints with transparent ones to comply with legal standards.

Additionally, the commissioner warned of strict enforcement against unauthorized use of sirens, revolving lights, obscured or covered number plates by unauthorized individuals, and the operation of unregistered vehicles within the state.

Police operatives have been instructed to uphold professional ethics, avoiding harassment or extortion during the enforcement exercise. Any officer found guilty of misconduct will face decisive disciplinary action, with supervisory officers held accountable for any lapses.

Motorists and residents are encouraged to cooperate fully with police during the operation. The public is also urged to report any cases of harassment or unprofessional conduct to the nearest police station or through the Command’s Complaints Response Unit via 08078255661 and 07065774464.

For emergencies, the public can contact 08125275046 or 07032069501, according to the spokesperson.
