Nigeria Police Suspend Tinted Glass Permit Enforcement Following Court Order
The Nigeria Police Force has placed the nationwide enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy on hold following an interim court order restraining the action.
The decision was disclosed in a press release issued on 1 January 2026 by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, and made available to the media in Abuja.
According to the statement, the Police had earlier announced on 15 December 2025 the resumption of enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy, scheduled to take effect from 2 January 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen public safety and internal security.
However, the Force was subsequently served with an interim order of court in Suit No. HOR FHR M 31 2025, issued on 17 December 2025, restraining it from proceeding with the enforcement.
“Subsequent to this announcement, the Nigeria Police Force was served with an interim order of court in Suit No. HOR FHR M 31 2025, issued on 17th December 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 said.
The Police said it has entered appearance in the matter and taken steps to challenge the order in line with constitutional provisions and respect for judicial authority.
