The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) said it has suspended the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit Act.

Force spokesman, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, revealed this following a meeting between the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, and the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Afam Josiah Osigwe (SAN), at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

“The Nigeria Police Force while noting that there is no clear court order stopping the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, has, out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians, and regard for the Nigerian Bar Association, temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Act, pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice slated for 16th October 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State,” Hundeyin said on Thursday.

He said the visit of the NBA delegation led by its president to IGP Egbetokun centred on issues surrounding the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, by the Force.

Hundeyin added that it provided an opportunity for robust deliberations on issues of mutual concern, particularly the need for synergy between the police and the NBA in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.

To further strengthen the relationship between the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Bar Association, a Police-NBA committee has been inaugurated to enhance collaboration between the police and the bar.

In the meantime, all vehicle owners and motorists have been urged to take advantage of this window to regularise their documentation and ensure full compliance with all relevant laws regulating the use of motor vehicles with shaded or tinted glasses in Nigeria.

“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Egbetokun, reiterates the resolve of the Force to enforce all extant laws with fairness, transparency, and respect for the rights of all citizens while maintaining effective collaboration with critical stakeholders in the administration of justice,” Hundeyin said.
