– Tinted glass permit controversy drags on
– 25 vehicles impounded by Delta State Police Command
-Court to make final judgment on
The Delta State Police Command has impounded not less than 25 vehicles over offences related to the controversial tinted glass permit.
The enforcement exercise, carried out on Thursday, was part of a renewed clampdown on motorists flouting regulations on tinted permits across the state capital.
Sharing the development on its official X account on Friday, the Command further advised motorists to process their permits through the Police Specialised Services Automation Project (POSSAP) platform or at the state police headquarters to avoid arrest.
“Delta government announced enforcement of tint permits. Twenty-five vehicles impounded for driving a tinted vehicle without a tinted permit in Asaba. Visit @POSSAP_NGG website today and get it done or your police state headquarters,” the police said.
The clampdown followed an earlier announcement by the command that full enforcement of regulations on tinted vehicle glass, sirens, and number plates would commence from Thursday, October 2, 2025.
Court Stops Police Enforcement of Tinted Glass Regulation
Meanwhile, a Federal High Court sitting in Warri has restrained the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police from enforcing the controversial tinted glass permit regulation.
The interim order was issued in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025, John Aikpokpo-Martins v. Inspector-General of Police & Nigeria Police Force, when the case came up for hearing on Friday.
Justice of the Federal High Court directed police authorities to maintain the status quo and respect judicial processes until further proceedings are concluded.
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kunle Edun, who led the legal team, described the ruling as a crucial step towards upholding the rule of law while the substantive issues in the suit are being decided
