Action follows court order restraining implementation pending determination of suit
The Nigeria Police Force has suspended the nationwide enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy following an interim court order restraining the move.
The Force had earlier announced, on December 15, 2025, that enforcement of the policy would resume from January 2, 2026, citing concerns around public safety and internal security.
However, in a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, the police disclosed that it was subsequently served with an interim court order dated December 17, 2025.
According to the statement, the order—issued in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025—restrains the police from proceeding with the enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or until the order is vacated.
“The Nigeria Police Force was served with an interim order of court in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025, issued on December 17, 2025, restraining the Force from proceeding with the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the vacation of the order,” the statement read.
The police said it has entered appearance in the matter, raised preliminary objections, and formally applied for the vacation of the interim order. The case has been adjourned to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.
“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 January 20, 2026, for further proceedings,” Hundeyin stated.
The Force clarified that the suspension of enforcement is in strict compliance with the subsisting court order.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to the rule of law while carrying out its constitutional mandate.
“Accordingly, and strictly in compliance with the subsisting court order, the Nigeria Police Force has placed the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy on hold nationwide, pending the decision of the court,” the statement added.
The police further assured the public that it would continue to deploy lawful and intelligence-driven strategies to address security challenges across the country.
“The Inspector-General of Police affirms that the Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in upholding the rule of law while discharging its primary mandate of protecting lives and property. Members of the public will be duly informed and provided with clear guidance following the court’s determination of the matter, in the overriding interest of public order and national security,” the statement concluded.
