- Tinted glass permit:
Police suspend enforcement
Following a restraining interim court order, the Nigeria Police Force says it has suspended the nationwide enforcement of its vehicle tinted glass permit policy, which it had announced on 15 December, 2025, would commence nationwide, today, 2nd January 2026.
In a statement issued 1 January (yesterday), and signed by tge Force’s spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, the police disclosed that the policy enforcement was suspended in obedience to a court order it received 17 December, 2025.
The suspension will remain in force pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the vacation of the interim order, Hundeyin said.
“The Nigeria Police Force was served with an interim order of court in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025, issued on 17th December 2025, restraining the Force from proceeding with the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the vacation of the order,” the statement said.
The police stated further, “In line with constitutional obligations and respect for judicial authority, the Nigeria Police Force has entered appearance in the matter, raised preliminary objections, and formally applied for the vacation of the interim order. The court has adjourned the case to 20th January 2026 for further proceedings.
“Accordingly, and strictly in compliance with the subsisting court order, the Nigeria Police Force has placed the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy on hold nationwide, pending the decision of the court.”
The statement added that the Force would keep the public informed of further developments on the matter as they unfold.
