The Nigeria Police Force has announced the suspension of the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit following a court order halting the exercise.

Spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the development during an interview on AIT on Wednesday, stating that the police had officially received the court directive.
“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 suspension would remain in effect until the ongoing legal process is concluded. “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 about the tinted glass regulation, Adeh clarified that the policy was introduced for security purposes, noting that some criminals had used vehicles with darkened windows to commit offences.
“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 tinted permit policy was aimed at financial gain, explaining that all payments are made directly into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA), not to the police.
