•Vehicle with a tinted glass
The Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State, today ordered the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to suspend the enforcement of the tinted glass permit by vehicle owners.
The court asked the police and the IGP to maintain the status quo and “respect judicial processes pending further proceedings in the matter,” reports The PUNCH.
The court issued the interim order as hearing opened in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025, instituted by legal practitioner John Aikpokpo-Martins against the Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force.
The lawyer, John Aikpokpo-Martins, approached the court to challenge the legality of the new tinted permit enforcement.
In the interim order, the Court directed the police authorities to “respect judicial processes pending further proceedings in the matter.”
Senior Advocate Kunle Edun, SAN, who led the legal team for the petitioner, confirmed the development to journalists and noted that “the directive is a major step in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld while the substantive issues in the case are being determined.”
