The police have not received a court order to stop the enforcement of colored glass permits

The Nigerian police have stated that they have not been officially served with the orders of the Federal High Court that directed him to suspend the enforcement of colored glass permits.

Public Relations Force officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, made clarification on Saturday in response to the media report that the court had arrested the police to arrest or sue the driver for using a vehicle with a colored window.

The Federal High Court sitting in Warri on Friday, in a lawsuit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025, John Aikpokpo-Martin v. Inspector General of the Police & Police Nigeria, gave a temporary order that suspended the enforcement of the colored glass permit regulations. The court instructed the police to maintain the status quo while waiting for the determination of substantive material.

However, Hundeyin, in a post in X, stated that the police had not been officially informed of the decision.
“Even though we have not been officially served by the court orders you mean, let me, meanwhile, show point number eight (from the same order) because you leave that part and only focus on point number six. Nigeria deserves a complete picture, not the sloping one,” he wrote.

His statement followed a public reaction to the post by human rights lawyers, Inbehe Effiong, who had shared a quote from the decision that directed the police to suspend law enforcement.

The colored glass permit scheme was re -introduced by the police in April 2023 under the Police Special Service Automation project after being suspended in 2022.
