The Nigeria Police Force has suspended the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit following a court order halting the exercise.
Spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the suspension on Wednesday, noting that the directive took effect immediately after the police officially received the court order.
Recall that the Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, had last week ordered the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General of Police to suspend the enforcement of the tinted glass permit nationwide. The court further directed the police to maintain the status quo and respect judicial processes pending the determination of the matter.
Meanwhile, a constitutional lawyer in Rivers State, Professor Richard Wokocha, has described the enforcement of the tinted glass permit by the Rivers State Police Command as an illegal imposition of tax on citizens.
