The Digest:

The Nigeria Police Force has officially suspended its enforcement of the controversial vehicle tinted glass permit, complying with a court order that halted the exercise.

Key Points:
  • The FCT Police Spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, announced the suspension following the receipt of a court order.
  • Enforcement is now on hold indefinitely, pending the court's final verdict on the matter.
  • Adeh clarified that the policy was originally security-driven to combat crimes committed using tinted vehicles.
  • She stated that the police, as enforcers, did not create the law and are bound to comply with judicial directives.
  • The spokesperson dismissed claims that the permit was a revenue-generating scheme for the police.
  • All permit payments were made directly into the Federal Government's Treasury Single Account (TSA).
  • The police await the court's decision to determine the future of the tinted permit regulation.
This suspension marks a significant pause in a policy that has been a point of contention between security concerns and citizen convenience.
