The Nigeria Police Force has reacted to a social media post by human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who shared a copy of a Federal High Court order directing the police to maintain the status quo in the ongoing case on the enforcement of tinted glass permits.
Responding via his official handle on X (formerly Twitter), the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the police had not yet been officially served with the court order cited by Effiong.
Hundeyin wrote, “While we have not been officially served the court order you’re making reference to, let me, in the meantime, show point no. 8 (of the same order) since you left that part out and focused only on point no. 6. Nigerians deserve a complete picture, not a skewed one.”
His response came after Effiong posted excerpts of the court order granted in Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/103/2025: John Aikpokpo-Martins v. Inspector General of Police & Nigeria Police Force, which restrained the police from taking further action on the enforcement of tinted glass regulations pending the determination of the case.
In the ruling, the Federal High Court sitting in Warri directed the police to maintain the status quo and respect ongoing judicial proceedings.
Confirming the development, leading counsel in the matter, Kunle Edun, SAN, described the order as “a major step in upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of citizens while the substantive issues are yet to be decided.”
