The Nigeria Police Force has said it has not yet received the court order stopping the enforcement of tinted-glass permits.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Saturday in response to reports that the Federal High Court had restrained the police from arresting or prosecuting motorists with tinted windows.
Hotjist reports that a Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State, on Friday granted an interim order in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025: John Aikpokpo-Martins v. Inspector-General of Police & Nigeria Police Force, directing the police to suspend enforcement of tinted-glass permits pending the determination of the substantive case.
The order directed that the police maintain the status quo, halting any action against motorists until the case is concluded.
Reacting via his X handle, Hundeyin said the police had not been officially served with the order.
“While we have not been officially served the court order you’re making reference to, let me, in the meantime, show point number eight (of the same order) since you left that part out and focused only on point number six. Nigerians deserve a complete picture, not a skewed one,” he wrote.
His clarification followed a post by human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who had circulated part of the ruling restraining the police from enforcing the regulation.
The police had in April 2023 announced the resumption of the tinted-glass permit scheme under the Police Specialised Services Automation Project (POSSAP) after it was earlier suspended in 2022.
