The Nigeria Police Force on Wednesday says it has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit.
This was disclosed by the spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Josephine Adeh.
Speaking while featuring as a guest on a programme on AIT, she explained that the decision followed a court order halting the exercise.
Adeh said, “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.”
She went on to say the directive to suspend enforcement would remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process.
“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, who noted that tinted glass permit was introduced for security reasons, stressed that some criminal activities had been carried out 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 further said.
