Police suspend vehicle tinted glass permit enforcement

Following a court order stopping the exercise, the Nigeria Police Force has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit.

Spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this during an interview on Wednesday.

“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.

“We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict,” Adeh stated.

She clarified that the tinted glass ban was implemented for security purposes, as certain illicit actions had been executed utilising automobiles with obscured windows.

“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,” the PPRO said.
