Nigeria Police temporarily suspends enforcement of Tinted Glass Permit Act, receives Nigerian Bar Association.

Says that the decision is pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice slated for 16th October 2025.

NPF noted that its decision to temporarily suspend it is out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians and regard for the NBA.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced the temporary suspension of the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit Act pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice slated for 16th October 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State.

A statement by the Force’s PRO, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the decision followed a meeting between the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun and a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) led by its President, Afam Osigwe (SAN) at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

The Police said that visit centred on issues surrounding the enforcement, but it “provided an opportunity for robust deliberations on issues of mutual concern, particularly the need for synergy between the Police and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence”.

The Nigeria Police Force noted that there is no clear court order stopping the enforcement of the Act, adding that its decision to temporarily suspend it is out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians and regard for the Nigerian Bar Association.

“To further strengthen the relationship between the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Bar Association, a Police-NBA committee has been inaugurated to enhance collaboration between the police and the bar.”

“In the meantime, all vehicle owners and motorists are urged to take advantage of this window to regularise their documentation and ensure full compliance with all relevant laws regulating the use of motor vehicles with shaded or tinted glasses in Nigeria.”

“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Egbetokun, reiterates the resolve of the Force to enforce all extant laws with fairness, transparency, and respect for the rights of all citizens while maintaining effective collaboration with critical stakeholders in the administration of justice.”
