The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Command of the Nigeria Police Force, said the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit has been suspended today.
Spokesperson for the FCT Command, Superintendent of police Josephine Adeh, said the suspension followed a court order halting the exercise.
In an interview, SP Adeh said the decision came after the police officially received the court order. She explained that the directive to suspend enforcement would remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process.
SP 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.
She said, “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”.
