The Digest:

The Nigeria Police Force has halted the enforcement of its controversial tinted glass permit policy, which was set to begin on January 2, 2026, following a court order. Force spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin announced the suspension pending the resolution of a legal challenge against the policy.

Key Points:
  • The enforcement of vehicle tinted glass permits has been officially suspended.
  • The policy was scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2026.
  • The suspension follows a court order, with the police complying pending the hearing of a substantive suit.
  • Hundeyin stated the pause will remain until the court either determines the case or vacates the order.
  • The announcement came just one day before the planned nationwide enforcement.
  • The policy had previously drawn public criticism and legal scrutiny over its implementation.
  • Further details on the court case and potential next steps are awaited.
The sudden suspension underscores the tension between regulatory authority and judicial oversight, a recurring storm where public policy meets the force of legal challenge.
