Police, NBA to review Tinted permit policy.
The Nigerian Bar Association’s Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL) and the Nigeria Police Force have reached an agreement to review the policy on tinted permits.
Prof. Paul Ananaba, Chairman of the NBA-SPIDEL, made this known in Ikeja on Thursday during an interactive session organized as part of the build-up to the NBA-SPIDEL Annual Conference in Akwa Ibom.
Ananaba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, stated that the review aims to ensure the policy aligns with public interest and national security goals.
The senior lawyer explained that the decision came after several weeks of discussions between both parties, following public complaints about the harassment of motorists with partially tinted vehicle windows.
He noted that the association stepped in following numerous reports of arbitrary arrests and vehicle impoundments by police officers enforcing the tinted permit policy.
“Following our discussions with senior police officers, we agreed that enforcement of the tinted permit should be suspended, while a joint review committee is constituted.
“SPIDEL’s engagement with the police is not confrontational but aimed at promoting accountability and justice in public administration.
“The committee, comprising representatives of NBA-SPIDEL and the Nigeria Police, will examine the legal and security implications of the policy and recommend new modalities for its regulation,” Ananaba said.
