The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991.
A statement on Thursday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the decision followed a meeting between the police chief and a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association led by its President, Afam Osigwe (SAN), at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
He said the discussion focused on the ongoing enforcement of the tinted glass law and the need for cooperation between the Police and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.
Hundeyin said although there is no clear court order halting the enforcement of the law, the police suspended 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.
