The Nigeria Police Force has agreed to suspend the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy nationwide following an interim court order restraining the action.
The Police had earlier announced on December 15, 2025, that enforcement of the policy would resume from January 2, 2026, as part of measures to enhance public safety and internal security. However, the plan was put on hold after the Force was served with an interim order issued on December 17, 2025, in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025.
The court order restrains the Nigeria Police Force from proceeding with the enforcement of the tinted glass permit pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the lifting of the order.
In response, the Police said it had entered appearance in the case, raised preliminary objections, and applied for the vacation of the interim order. The matter has been adjourned to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.
In strict compliance with the court’s directive, the Police confirmed that enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy has been suspended nationwide until the court reaches a decision.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to upholding the rule of law while carrying out its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property. He assured the public that the Police would continue to deploy lawful and intelligence-driven strategies to address security challenges across the country.
The Force added that members of the public would be duly informed of any further developments following the court’s determination.
