In view of the above, motorists yet to register their vehicles with tinted glasses are strongly advised to do so at www.possap.gov.ng, after which they should proceed to their State Command Headquarters for physical verification.
Those who are not desirous of obtaining the Tinted Glass Permit are advised to remove such tints or replace the factory-fitted glasses with transparent ones, as legally provided by the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act 2004.
Additionally, the Police will enforce the subsisting ban on the unauthorized use of sirens, revolving lights, Police SPY and unallocated official number plates, as well as the use of unregistered vehicles.
