The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has criticised the decision of the Nigeria Police Force to resume enforcement of the suspended tinted glass permit policy, describing the move as a disregard for the rule of law and an affront to the authority of the court.
The position followed a press release issued by the force public relations officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, announcing that enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy would resume nationwide from January 2, 2026.
Reacting to the development, the NBA said the announcement was made despite a pending suit before the federal high court in Abuja, challenging the legality and constitutionality of the policy.
The association argued that the action amounted to executive recklessness and reflected a lack of respect for due process by the police authorities.
The tinted glass permit policy was first introduced by the inspector general of police in April 2025, requiring motorists to obtain and renew permits annually through an online platform.
