TINTED PERMIT ENFORCEMENT ON HOLD DUE TO COURT RESTRAIN- POLICE
Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second
The Nigeria Police Force announced on Wednesday that the implementation of the vehicle tinted glass permit has been halted due to a judicial ruling that prohibits the activity.
The representative for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, revealed this during a discussion on TV.
She said the decision to halt the enforcement came after the police officially received the court order.
Adeh said, “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”..
Disclosing that the directive to suspend enforcement would remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process, Adeh said, “We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict”.

Speaking on public concerns about the purpose of the tinted glass regulation, Adeh explained 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.
She dismissed claims that the policy was designed for financial gain, noting that all payments related to tinted permits are made directly into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA), not to the police.
