The Nigeria Police Force says enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit has been suspended following a court order halting the exercise.
SP Josephine Adeh, Spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, confirmed this during an interview on AIT on Wednesday.
She disclosed that the decision came after the police “officially received the court order.”
Adeh stated the police position:“Information reaching me from the office of the PRO is that the order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict,”
She explained that the directive to suspend enforcement will remain in place pending the outcome of the legal process. “We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict,” she added.
Addressing public concerns, Adeh clarified that the regulation was introduced for security reasons, noting that some criminal activities had been carried out using vehicles with darkened windows.
She said:“The law was not made by us. We are enforcers. The policy was purely security-driven. Some criminals were using tinted vehicles to commit offences, making it difficult for law enforcement to identify suspects,”
Adeh also dismissed claims that the policy was designed for financial gain, explaining that all payments related to tinted permits are made directly into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA), not to the police.
