Federal High Court Directs Police To Halt Tinted Glass Permit Enforcement
The Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, on Friday ordered the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to suspend the enforcement of the tinted glass permit for vehicle owners. The court instructed the police to maintain the status quo and “respect judicial processes pending further proceedings in the matter.” The interim order was issued as hearing began in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025, filed by lawyer John Aikpokpo-Martins against the Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force, challenging the legality of the new tinted glass permit enforcement. Senior Advocate Kunle Edun, SAN, who led Aikpokpo-Martins’ legal team, confirmed the development, describing it as “a significant step in upholding the rule of law while the substantive issues in the case are being determined.”
