The decision followed a meeting held on Wednesday at the Force Headquarters in Abuja between the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, and a delegation from the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), led by its President, Afam Osigwe, SAN.
According to a statement from the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Benjamin Hundeyin, the NBA delegation’s visit was centered on issues surrounding the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991 by the Police.
Hundeyin noted that the meeting allowed for robust deliberations on matters of mutual concern, particularly the need for synergy between the Police and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.
While confirming that no clear court order currently prohibits the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Act, the Police explained that the decision to suspend enforcement was taken solely in the interest of the public and out of regard for the NBA.
The Force urged all vehicle owners to utilize this period to regularise their documentation and ensure full compliance with the relevant laws regulating the use of vehicles with shaded or tinted glass in Nigeria.
