Thursday, October 9, 2025 - The Nigeria Police Force says enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit has been suspended following a court order halting the exercise.
The spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this during an interview on AIT on
Wednesday, October 8.
She confirmed that the decision came after the police
officially received the court order.
“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,” Adeh said.
She explained that the directive to suspend enforcement
would remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing 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 said
Addressing public concerns about the purpose of the tinted
glass regulation, Adeh clarified that it was introduced for security reasons,
noting that some criminal activities had been carried out using vehicles with
darkened windows.
“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,” she said.
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.
