BREAKING: Nigerian Police Give Fresh Update On Tinted Glass Enforcement

• The Nigeria Police Force has said it has not been “officially served” with the court order directing parties to maintain the status quo in the ongoing tinted glass permit case.

• CSP Benjamin Hundeyin explained that while the order exists, the plaintiff’s main injunctions were refused, and the matter is set for hearing on October 16.

The Nigeria Police Force has clarified that it has not been “officially served” with the court order concerning the enforcement of tinted glass permits.

Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, who was appointed in September, disclosed this on Saturday after human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, posted on X that the court had ordered the Police to maintain the status quo in the case.

Responding, Hundeyin insisted that the Police had not received any official notification, but shared parts of the order to provide context.

“While we have not been officially served the court order you’re making reference to, let me, in the meantime, show point number eight (of the same order) since you left that part out and focused only on point number six. Nigerians deserve a complete picture, not a skewed one,” he said.

According to him, the plaintiff’s three main injunctions against the policy were refused, while the court directed all parties to preserve the status quo pending the next hearing on October 16.

Earlier on Friday, the Federal High Court in Warri had issued an interim order directing the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General to maintain the status quo in the tinted glass permit case.

Confirming the development, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kunle Edun, who led the legal team, described the ruling as a significant step in protecting the rule of law.
