FCT Police Suspend Enforcement of Tinted Glass Permit Following Court Order
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has announced the suspension of enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit, following a court order halting the exercise.
Spokesperson for the command, Josephine Adeh, disclosed this during an interview on AIT on Wednesday, stating that the suspension took effect after the police officially received the court directive.
“Information reaching me from the office of the PRO is that the order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict,” Adeh said.
She explained that the directive would remain in effect until the court delivers its judgment.
“We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict,” she added.
Adeh further emphasized that the tinted glass permit policy was introduced for security reasons, noting that several crimes had been committed using vehicles with darkened windows.
“The law was not made by us. We are enforcers. The policy was purely security-driven. Some criminals were using tinted vehicles to commit offences, making it difficult for law enforcement to identify suspects,” she said.
