EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Police had earlier announced on December 15, 2025, that enforcement of the policy would resume from January 2, 2026, citing its constitutional responsibility to ensure public safety and internal security.

However, the Force disclosed that it was later served with an interim order in Suit No. HOR FHR M 31 2025, issued on December 17, 2025. The order restrained the police from proceeding with the enforcement pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit or the vacation of the order.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the police said it had entered appearance in the matter, raised preliminary objections and formally applied for the vacation of the interim order.

According to the statement, the court has adjourned the case to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.

“In strict compliance with the subsisting court order, the Nigeria Police Force has placed the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit policy on hold nationwide, pending the decision of the court,” the statement said.

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to upholding the rule of law in the discharge of its duties.

He said the police would continue to deploy lawful and intelligence driven strategies to tackle security challenges and safeguard lives and property across the country.
