Inspector General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, on Thursday, directed all holders of tinted permit and firearms licences to revalidate them, taking effect from today.
The IGP gave the directive in Abuja, at the launch of the Nigeria Police Force Central Information System (NCIS).
He explained that the revalidation of tinted permit will begin today while validation of firearms licence will take effect from January 18, 2016.
Similarly, he said application for Character Certificates will now be processed digitally on the platform of the NCIS.
In his explanation, the IGP said the Character Certificate, Tinted Glass Permit and Fire arms License were processed manually without a central database of applicants or holders.
This, he said, was not only cumbersome but the integrity of these documents was also, subject to forgery. “Even more worrisome is the realisation that under this analogue system, it has been practically difficult to engage best international practices to vet firearms applicants, monitor the extent of compliance of licensees with extant firearms laws, and address the challenge of fire arms proliferation.
“All these gaps impact negatively on the ability of the Nigeria Police to effectively attain its core mandate of preventing and detecting crimes, and protecting the lives and property of the citizens,” he said.
Arase stressed that the revalidation grace for all holders will last for three months after which current permits will be invalid.
“I am to clarify that there will be a three months window for the revalidation of the Fire arms License and the Tinted Permit. Consequently, with effect from March 18, 2016, the current Fire arms License and Tinted Permit will become invalid and holder may be liable to arrest and prosecution,” he stated.

MadCow1:



You can only be issued a license for "semi-automatic" weapons that are not concealable.

So for you to get a license for any firearm, it must not be a full Automatic weapon and it must not be easy to conceal, meaning to pistols, AK's, Uzi's, etc

How abt rocket launchers and RPG

Why is it that no policy is consistent in Nigeria? This is a major problem in our government and policy making.

Remember Vehicle plate number, National Identity card ....now tinted glass.

They just looking for way to create money for government.

Another chop chop way and for Nigerian police. I am sure they will not quote the part that states that there is 3 month window. They will start disturbing on the road from tomorrow especially those ones on Benin axis.

Confused people.

Nigerian police....chopping Nigerians' money on the roads since 1960.

Do good for good to come your way

Yeye nigerian police. They fail to realize that all crimes commited by individuals in nigeria should be digitalized, that means recorded on the system thereby creating a criminal record for offenders.
