A Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, has ordered the Nigerian Police Force and its Inspector-General, Kayode Egbetokun, to maintain the status quo in the controversial tinted glass permit case.
The court’s ruling came in a case filed by John Aikpokpo-Martins against the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force.
The court directed the police to respect judicial processes and refrain from enforcing or altering the disputed policy until the matter is fully determined, warning that any act undermining its authority would amount to contempt.
This ruling follows a suit filed by the Nigerian Bar Association challenging the policy’s constitutionality and lawfulness.
