The Nigeria Police Force has said it has not been officially served with the court order regarding the enforcement of tinted glass permits.

The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, made this known on Saturday.

Human Rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, had posted on X, reports that the court had ordered the Police to maintain the status quo on the tinted glass permit case.

Responding, Hundeyin said the Police had not received any official notification.

He shared excerpts of the court order, noting that the plaintiff’s three main injunctions against the policy were refused, while the court maintained a directive for all parties to preserve the status quo pending the next hearing on October 16.

“While we have not been officially served the court order you’re making reference to, let me, in the meantime, show point number eight (of the same order) since you left that part out and focused only on point number six. Nigerians deserve a complete picture, not a skewed one.”

Hundeyin’s comment followed reports that the Federal High Court in Warri had issued an interim order on Friday, directing the Nigeria Police Force and the Inspector-General to maintain the status quo in the ongoing tinted glass permit case.

Delivering the order, the court directed the police authorities to respect judicial processes pending further proceedings in the matter.
