Court Bars Police From Enforcing Tinted Glass Regulation by Newsgeek24(op): 1:50pm On Oct 03, 2025

The Federal High Court in Warri has ordered the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to maintain the status quo in the ongoing legal battle over the controversial tinted glass permit, News360 Nigeria reports.

The case, filed as Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025: John Aikpokpo-Martins v. Inspector-General of Police & Nigeria Police Force, came up for hearing on Friday.

In delivering the interim order, the Court directed the police to respect judicial processes and refrain from any actions that could prejudice the matter, pending further proceedings.

Confirming the development, Kunle Edun, SAN, who led the legal team, noted that the directive is a major step in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld while the substantive issues in the case are being determined.

Details of the ruling and the next adjourned date are expected shortly.

In Imo State, it's the tout and hoodlums that enforce the ban on commercial vehicles.

You don't talk like that.

There is no single tout in imo state.

Please just assume this is the truth, at least to prevent some people from weeping in your mention for the next 48 hours and they will be happy with you on the ground of the self delusion.

I am of the opinion that the court should look deeply at the merit of the enforcement, considering the state of insecurity.

The court always resucing the police from itself. They should have allowed them commence implementation. The maturity date of this space is nearer.

Re: Court Bars Police From Enforcing Tinted Glass Regulation by pdozie: 2:28pm On Oct 03, 2025

😂😂😂😂😂 NBA had sought an interim injunction before a Federal High Court vacation judge in Abuja to stop enforcing the tinted glass permit.
However, the judge declined the request...

The refusal soon had consequences. Enforcement officers impounded Justice Ogunbowale’s vehicle under AIG Zone 5. Thereafter a Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State ordered the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to stop enforcing the tinted glass permit

How is tinted glass an accessory to any of the insecurity challenges ravaging the country, is it bandit that ride in tinted cars or is it boko haram that ride tinted cars into villages to massacre

If " $en$e" is not missing, why should " tinted glass " be police priority over " okada" ... terrorist, bandits use bike to eneoute the forest the police can't come up with stringent measures to address that

TBH Tinubu have only come to inflict hardship upon this country .. even our police have been reduced to Revenue generating entreprise, the sole aim of pushing Tinted permit is to make money of Nigerians

Tinubu n his team sit every day thinking of what to tax n extort Nigerians

I don't agree with you

people who launder weapons or arm robbers can still drive in non-tinted cars and operate easily, they rarely display their weapons in the passenger carriage

Nothing stops the police from flagging down any car they suspect, for inspections whether tinted or not

most cars are tinted to control light rays and heat from the sun

i knew you wil go for kidnappers ... i am sure you are above 20yrs @least .. at the time " one chance" trended was it tinted car they use ... danfo, public bus were use to kidnap people
the chibok gurls kidnapped by boko haram was it tinted car they used

.. you cant defend Apc n make sense

The gurl that got raped n die inside BRT bus ... was the glass tinted

All a kidnapper needs to get victim to cooperate is just a gun, they are just being myopic

, i can kidnap you, force you into the car boot nd get away in a clear glass car Since police are focused on tinted cars

The registration is not the problem.
1. Why do I have to go to their office for biometrics when my car documents and NIN can be verified?

2. Why must I pay 15k online for it? and

3. Why should I pay yearly to renew it?

The police are not a revenue-generating agency of government.

Re: Court Bars Police From Enforcing Tinted Glass Regulation by oyeraff: 3:01pm On Oct 03, 2025

So, meaning that once you have tinted permit you can move on without searching your vehicle, this tinted permit is more of revenue generation rather than security and again to be renewed yearly like vehicle particular and vehicle insurance, more chopping for police on the road than security of citizen, where is the country security adviser?

One Henessy for you my brother. All the ones they have been enforcing did it reduce any crimes or improve security?

Rather insecurity is getting worse and some bandits and kidnappers even have the guts to negotiate with sitting governors fully armed during the meeting. How can you negotiate with someone who kills another human like a fowl?
Shouldn't the plan be to eliminate this bloodthirsty heartless 💔 people huh

Nigeria is already gone.

We cant even farm.

We can't even travel freely for those that cant afford to fly by air.

We need to fight this insecurity very aggressively and decisively.

Its not by enforcing tinted permit. Its a money making avenue every new IG impose to make money.

Again, you nigerians are so downtrodden that you don't understand basic rights.
Vehicles are already registered with the government annually. If you need any extra "registration" for the tint, simply add a line to the existing license indicating if tinted or not.
WHY DE FOK DOES THE FOKKING POLICE NEED AN EXTRA AMOUNT OF MONEY PER YEAR FOR THAT?
