Federal High Court in Warri orders police to suspend enforcement of tinted glass permits, offering relief to Nigerian motorists.
The Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, has directed the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to immediately suspend the enforcement of the tinted glass permit for vehicle owners.
The ruling, delivered today, comes after growing concerns from motorists and civil rights advocates who argued that the enforcement of tinted glass permits had led to harassment, extortion, and unnecessary clashes between law enforcement agents and citizens.
Justice of the Federal High Court ruled that until a proper legal framework is reviewed and clarified, the police must cease all actions regarding the permit. The decision is expected to bring relief to thousands of motorists nationwide who have repeatedly called for an end to the controversial enforcement.
This development may spark broader discussions on road safety regulations, citizens’ rights, and how law enforcement should balance security measures with respect for civil liberties.
