Police suspends tint permit enforcement

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has announced the suspension of the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit

Spokesperson Josephine Adeh explained that the move follows a court order halting the exercise. Speaking on AIT, she said the police acted after officially receiving 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 stated.

She emphasized that the suspension will remain until the legal process is concluded. “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 also highlighted that the tinted glass permit was originally introduced for security reasons. She noted that some criminal activities had been carried out using vehicles with darkened windows, making it difficult for law enforcement to identify suspects.

“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 explained.
