The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit following a court order halting the exercise.
The Command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the development during an interview on AIT on Wednesday, stating that the police had officially received the court directive.
“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 explained that the suspension would remain in effect until the conclusion of the ongoing legal proceedings, adding, “We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict.”
Adeh emphasized that the tinted glass policy was introduced for security reasons, noting that criminals had exploited vehicles with darkened windows to perpetrate crimes. “The law was not made by us. We are enforcers. The policy was purely security-driven,” she said.
