The Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State, has issued an interim injunction restraining the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force from implementing or enforcing the recently announced Tinted Glass Permit Policy slated to commence on Monday, October 6, 2025.
The order followed a motion filed by John Aikpokpo-Martins, who sought to stop the police from proceeding with the enforcement of the policy, which he described as unlawful and burdensome to citizens.
Delivering the ruling, Justice H.A. Nganjiwa granted an interim injunction restraining the defendants — the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force — including their officers, agents, or contractors, from enforcing or further implementing the Tinted Glass Permit Policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive motion before the court.
The court also restrained the police and their agents from harassing, stopping, arresting, detaining, or impounding the vehicles of the plaintiff or any other person under the guise of enforcing the said policy.
