Delta CP Announces Enforcement of Tinted Glass, Siren & Plate Regulations from October 2!

Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

The Delta State Police Command has declared that enforcement of laws regarding tinted vehicle glass, unauthorized sirens, and illegal number plates will begin in full on Thursday, October 2, 2025. The police say the crackdowns will aim to restore order and reduce security abuses.

What the Enforcement Covers

• Tinted Glass: Vehicles with excessive or non‑compliant window tinting will be sanctioned unless they hold the required police‑issued permit.
• Siren Usage: Only vehicles legally authorized under Nigerian law (e.g., ambulances, police, fire services) will be permitted to use sirens. Any unauthorized use will be penalized.
• Number Plates: Vehicles using fake, obscured, or unregistered number plates will be impounded, and owners prosecuted. Rationale & National Context
• The move aligns with the Nigeria Police Force’s national tinted glass permit policy, which has seen periodic enforcement deadlines extended to October 2, 2025. [1]
• The police say that granting additional time before enforcement allows for thorough application processing and verification of legitimate permits. [1]
• Similar crackdowns have been initiated in other states such as Kebbi, where police began enforcing rules on tinted glass, sirens, and number plates. [2]
