The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has appealled to motorists in the country to take advantage of window, temporarily halting the implementation of full compliance with the relevant laws regulating the use of motor vehicles with shaded or tinted glasses to regularise their documentation before the resumption of the exercise.
The Force Public Relations Officer(FPR0) CSP Benjamin Hundeyin,who stated this in a statement after a visit of the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA),led by its President, Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN, to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun at the Force Headquarters, Abuja on Thursday, October 9, 2025,said to strengthen the relationship between the two organisations,a committee had been inaugurated to achieve the purpose.
He said the visit which centred on issues surrounding the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, by the Force, provided an opportunity for robust deliberations on issues of mutual concern, particularly the need for synergy between the Police and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.
According to him,during the meeting, the police observed that there was no clear court order stopping the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991,but that out of consideration for the interest of Nigerians, and regard for the NBA,the enforcement was temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice slated for October 16,2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State.
The statement quoted the IGP as reiterating the resolve of the Force to enforce all extant laws with fairness, transparency, and respect for the rights of all citizens while maintaining effective collaboration with critical stakeholders in the administration of justice.
