The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on Monday, received a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) led by its President, Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
According to a press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the meeting focused on issues relating to the enforcement of the *Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991*, and provided a platform for robust deliberations on matters of mutual concern—particularly the need for synergy between the Nigeria Police Force and the Bar in upholding the rule of law and promoting public confidence.
Following the discussions, the Nigeria Police Force clarified that there is no subsisting court order restraining the enforcement of the *Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991.* However, in the spirit of cooperation and consideration for the Nigerian public and the NBA, the Force has temporarily suspended enforcement of the Act pending the outcome of the hearing of the Motion on Notice scheduled for October 16, 2025, at the Federal High Court, Warri, Delta State.
To further strengthen institutional collaboration, a Police–NBA Committee has been inaugurated to deepen engagement and foster mutual understanding between both bodies.
Meanwhile, the Force urges all motorists and vehicle owners to seize this opportunity to regularize their documentation and ensure compliance with all relevant laws regulating the use of tinted or shaded vehicle glasses in Nigeria.
IGP Egbetokun reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to enforcing extant laws with fairness, transparency, and respect for citizens’ rights, while maintaining constructive partnership with key stakeholders in the justice sector.
