The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has received a delegation from the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) led by its President, Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, for crucial deliberations on the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991.
The meeting provided a platform for open dialogue on issues of mutual concern, with both institutions reaffirming their commitment to uphold the rule of law, protect citizens’ rights, and strengthen public confidence in the justice system.
Following the discussions, the Nigeria Police Force announced a temporary suspension of the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Act, pending the hearing of a Motion on Notice scheduled for October 16, 2025, at the Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State.
While clarifying that there is no subsisting court order halting enforcement, the Force said the decision was taken in good faith — out of respect for the Nigerian Bar Association and in the interest of the public.
To further cement cooperation, a Police–NBA Joint Committee has been inaugurated to enhance synergy between the two bodies in matters of justice administration and law enforcement.
Meanwhile, the IGP urged vehicle owners to use this window to regularise their documentation and ensure full compliance with regulations guiding the use of tinted or shaded vehicle glasses in Nigeria.
IGP Egbetokun reaffirmed the Police Force’s unwavering resolve to enforce all laws fairly, transparently, and in respect of citizens’ rights, while maintaining active collaboration with critical stakeholders in the justice sector.
