The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed in its entirety a suit filed by the Nigerian Bar Association challenging the Nigeria Police Force’s enforcement of the motor vehicle tinted glass permit policy, holding that the use of tinted glass on vehicles is not a constitutionally guaranteed right.
Justice Suleman Liman of Court 11 at the Federal High Court, Maitama, delivered the judgment in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/182/2025, brought by the Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Bar Association on behalf of itself, Nigerian legal practitioners, and the motoring public against the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force.
In his judgment, Justice Liman resolved all issues in favour of the defendants, holding that the NBA failed to establish the alleged illegality of the tinted glass permit policy.
The court found that the NBA did not discharge the requisite burden of proof necessary to substantiate its claims. Consequently, the court held that the Association lacked the locus standi to institute and maintain the action. See More/Read Original
