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 action.
The police had earlier announced on December 15, 2025, that enforcement of the policy would resume from January 2, 2026, citing concerns over public safety and internal security. However, the plan has now been placed on hold pending further legal proceedings.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that the police were served with an interim court order dated December 17, 2025, in Suit No. HOR/FHR/M/31/2025.
According to Hundeyin, the order restrains the police from enforcing the tinted glass permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or until the order is vacated by the court.

“The Nigeria Police Force has entered appearance in the matter, raised preliminary objections and formally applied for the vacation of the interim order,” Hundeyin said.
He added that the court has adjourned the case to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.
“In strict compliance with the subsisting court order, the enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy has been placed on hold nationwide,” the statement read.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to the rule of law while carrying out its constitutional duty of protecting lives and property.
According to the police leadership, lawful and intelligence-driven strategies would continue to be deployed to address security challenges across the country while awaiting the court’s final decision.
The Force assured Nigerians that clear guidance would be provided after the court determines the matter.
“Members of the public are assured that the Nigeria Police Force will communicate further developments and issue clear guidance as appropriate following the court’s determination of the matter,” the statement added.
