The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991, pending the hearing of a Motion on Notice fixed for October 16, 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State.Police equipment sales
Egbetokun clarified that there is no clear court order halting enforcement but said the decision was made in the interest of Nigerians and out of respect for the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
He announced this during a courtesy visit by an NBA delegation led by its President, Afam Josiah Osigwe (SAN), to the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said in a statement that the meeting provided a platform for frank deliberations on the tinted glass regulation and other legal matters, stressing the need for synergy between the Police and the Bar to strengthen public trust and uphold the rule of law.
A Police–NBA committee has been inaugurated to enhance collaboration and ensure smooth engagement between both institutions.
Meanwhile, motorists have been urged to take advantage of the suspension period to regularize their documentation and comply with all vehicle regulations.
Egbetokun reaffirmed the Police Force’s commitment to enforcing laws fairly, transparently, and with full respect for citizens’ rights, while maintaining strong partnerships with justice sector stakeholders.
