Police back down on tinted glass enforcement

Tinted glass

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has suspended the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, following growing public pressure and intervention by the Nigerian Bar Association.

The suspension was announced in a statement on Thursday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.

The decision followed a Monday meeting between Egbetokun and an NBA delegation led by its President, Afam Osigwe (SAN), at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.Hundeyin claimed that there was no subsisting court order halting enforcement but said the police opted to suspend the exercise “out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians and regard for the Nigerian Bar Association,” pending the hearing of a motion on notice scheduled for October 16, 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State.
