NPF takes fresh decision as Court delivers Judgment in Tinted Glass Permit case
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has suspended the nationwide enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy following an interim court order restraining the Force from proceeding with the exercise.
The suspension comes after the NPF announced on December 15, 2025, that it would resume enforcement of the policy from January 2, 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen public safety and internal security.
However, days after the announcement, the Police were served with an interim order issued on December 17, 2025, in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025.
The court order restrains the Nigeria Police Force from enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or until the order is vacated.
In compliance with the order, the Police said they have 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.
“As a result of 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 Force said in a statement.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to the rule of law, noting that the Police would continue to carry out their constitutional mandate of protecting lives and property through lawful and intelligence-driven strategies.
The Police also assured members of the public that further updates and clear guidance would be communicated after the court reaches a determination on the matter, in the interest of public order and national security.
