Nigeria Police Suspend Tinted Glass Permit Enforcement Following Court Order

The Nigeria Police Force has suspended the enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy, effective immediately. This decision comes after the police were served with an interim court order restraining them from proceeding with the enforcement .

The police had announced the resumption of enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy on December 15, 2025, with effect from January 2, 2026. However, following the court order, the police have placed the enforcement on hold nationwide, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the vacation of the order .

According to the statement signed by the Force PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, “In line with constitutional obligations and respect for judicial authority, the Nigeria Police Force has entered appearance in the matter, raised preliminary objections, and formally applied for the vacation of the interim order. The court has adjourned the case to 20th January 2026 for further proceedings” .

The suspension of the enforcement means that motorists with tinted windows can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief as the police await the court’s decision on the matter. The case has sparked debate, with some arguing that the policy is necessary for public safety, while others claim it is an infringement on citizens’ rights.
