The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has announced the suspension of the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit.
The Command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, confirmed the development, stating that the suspension followed a court order halting the exercise.
During an interview on AIT, Adeh explained that the police officially received the court order before pausing the enforcement.
“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 further clarified that the directive to suspend the exercise would remain in effect until the conclusion of the ongoing legal process.
“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.
Adeh emphasized that the tinted glass permit was originally introduced for security purposes, 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.
