The FCT Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force announced on Wednesday that it has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit.
According to the FCT Police Command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, the suspension comes in compliance with a court order that halted the enforcement exercise.
Speaking during an interview on AIT, Adeh confirmed that the police acted after formally receiving the court’s 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 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 by FCT Police 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 said.
