The implementation of the tinted glass permit regulation has been temporarily halted, according to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).  

Force spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin stated in a statement on Thursday that the police halted the policy's implementation in regard for Nigerians and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). 

 Hundeyin maintained that "no clear" court ruling prevented the tinted glass permit policy's execution, even though a court injunction requested that the policy be suspended.  

According to the force spokeswoman, an NBA leadership delegation headed by the association's president, Afam Osigwe, was received by Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun.  

According to Hundeyin, the visit focused on matters pertaining to the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991's enforcement.

“The Nigeria Police Force, while noting that there is no clear court order stopping the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, has, out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians, and regard for the Nigerian Bar Association, temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Act, pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice slated for 16th October 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta state,” the statement reads.

“To further strengthen the relationship between the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Bar Association, a Police-NBA committee has been inaugurated to enhance collaboration between the police and the bar.

“In the meantime, all vehicle owners and motorists are urged to take advantage of this window to regularise their documentation and ensure full compliance with all relevant laws regulating the use of motor vehicles with shaded or tinted glasses in Nigeria.”
