Again, court stops police from enforcing tinted glass permit
A Delta State High Court has issued an ex-parte order stopping the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) from resuming enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy across the country.
Justice Joe Egwu, who delivered the ruling on Wednesday, also restrained the police from harassing, arresting, detaining, or extorting motorists and citizens on the basis of the policy. The injunction will remain in force pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
News Point Nigeria reports that the order followed a suit filed by a citizen, Mr. Israel Joe, through a legal team led by Kunle Edun (SAN).

This development comes after Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, announced that enforcement of the suspended tinted glass permit policy would resume nationwide from January 2, 2026.
Among the court directives is an interim injunction preventing the IGP, the NPF, and their officers from interfering with the constitutional rights to dignity, privacy, freedom of movement, and property ownership under the guise of enforcing the policy.
The case is scheduled for hearing on December 24, 2025.
