The Nigeria Police Force has stopped the nationwide enforcement of the tinted glass permit rule after a court issued an interim order halting the policy. The suspension comes as the legal process continues over a lawsuit challenging the enforcement.
The Force had announced that the policy would resume on January 2, 2026, citing its role in maintaining public safety and security. However, on December 17, 2025, a court issued an interim order restraining the police from proceeding with the enforcement until the full case is heard and resolved.
The police said they have responded to the order, appeared in court, filed preliminary objections, and requested the court lift the interim order. The case is now scheduled for further proceedings on January 20, 2026.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, confirmed that the Force will comply with the court order while continuing its security duties. He reassured the public that the police would keep using lawful and intelligence-based strategies to manage security across the country.
The police also promised to update Nigerians with clear guidance after the court delivers its decision, ensuring that public safety and order are maintained.
