The digest:
Nigerian Bar Association has condemned the Nigeria Police Force's plan to resume enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy, calling it a "grave affront to the majesty of the court" and a reckless violation of a binding court undertaking.
Key Points:
- The NBA strongly condemned the police's announcement to resume tinted glass permit enforcement from January 2, 2026.
- The association stated the move shows "troubling disregard for the rule of law" and subverts a legal undertaking given in court.
- The NBA had sued the police (Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1821/2025), challenging the policy as unconstitutional and extortionate.
- Following public outrage, a high-level meeting with the Inspector General of Police led to an agreement to suspend enforcement pending the court's judgment.
- Police counsel confirmed this suspension in open court on December 12, leading to a motion being struck out.
- The NBA expressed shock that the police announced renewed enforcement just one working day after this court undertaking.
- The association warned that it will commence committal proceedings against the IGP and Force PRO if the directive is not withdrawn.
