The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has put the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit on hold following a court order.

FCT Police spokesperson Josephine Adeh said the suspension came after the police officially received the directive. Speaking on AIT, she confirmed, “Information reaching me from the office of the PRO is that the order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict.”

She stressed that the pause will continue until the court reaches a decision. “We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict,” Adeh added.

Adeh also explained that the tinted glass permit was initially introduced for security purposes, as some criminals had used vehicles with darkened windows to evade law enforcement. “The law was not made by us. We are enforcers. The policy was purely security-driven. Some criminals were using tinted vehicles to commit offences, making it difficult for law enforcement to identify suspects,” she said.
