The implementation of the controversial tinted glass permit by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has been suspended.
This information was revealed by the spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, Ms Josephine Adeh, a Superintendent of Police (SP).
In an interview with African Independent Television (AIT) on Wednesday, Ms Adeh noted the action followed the receipt of a court order halting the policy.
Recall that a few days ago, the police was directed by a court in Delta State to suspend the implementation of the tinted glass permit policy after a vehicle of a judge in the state was impounded by the police along with others.
The police continued with the enforcement, claiming that it had not received the court order.
“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,” Ms Adeh said on the programme today, noting that the directive to suspend enforcement will remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process.
“We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict,” she added.
