JUST IN: Nigeria Police Suspend Enforcement Of Tinted Glass Permit
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit following a court order halting the exercise.
FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this during an interview on AIT on Wednesday. She explained that the suspension will remain in effect pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process.
According to her, “The order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict.”
She clarified that the policy was introduced for security reasons, as some criminal activities had been carried out using vehicles with darkened windows.
Adeh dismissed claims that the policy was financially motivated, noting that all payments for tinted permits are made directly into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) and not to the Police.
“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 added.
