A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) ,Jibrin Samuel Okutepa has responded to the Nigeria Police Force’s claim that it has not yet been formally served with the Federal High Court order suspending the enforcement of the tinted-glass permit policy.

Okutepa noted that while the Force may not have been formally served, the enrolled court orders are publicly available, and the Force’s spokesman, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, attached a copy in his statements. He said this demonstrates that the police are aware of the ongoing litigation, in response to Hundeyin’s comment on X sharing the court order.

He wrote:

“If the Nigerian Police has not been officially served with the orders of the Court, but as the official spokesman of the police you have the enrolled orders attached here, can you reasonably say you have not seen the orders? This tweet shows that you have a copy of the order. It also shows that the police are aware of the pending litigation.”

Okutepa further advised the Force that, as the country’s foremost law enforcement agency, it is important to act in line with global civilised standards and respect judicial processes, even before formal service is effected.

“As the foremost law enforcement agent, it will be nice and accord with civilised standards all over the world that the pending processes that you are aware of be respected by the police institution. That is my honest advice,” he added.

This statement comes amid heightened public scrutiny over the tinted-glass permit policy, which was temporarily suspended by Justice H.A. Ngangijowa of the Federal High Court in Warri in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025, following claims that the policy could infringe on motorists’ constitutional rights.
