A Delta State High Court has granted an ex-parte injunction preventing the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) from enforcing the tinted glass permit policy across the country.
Justice Joe Egwu, on Wednesday, ordered that the police must not harass, arrest, detain, or extort motorists and citizens over the policy.
The order will remain in effect until the substantive case is heard and determined.
The injunction was issued following a suit filed in Delta State by Mr. Israel Joe, represented by a legal team led by Kunle Edun (SAN).
This comes after the NPF, through its Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin, announced on Monday that the enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy would resume from January 2, 2026.
The court’s order specifically restrains the IGP, the police, and their officers from interfering with the constitutional rights of citizens, including dignity, privacy, freedom of movement, and property ownership, under the guise of enforcing the tinted glass permit.
The hearing for the substantive motion has been scheduled for December 24, 2025.
