Nigeria Police has broken the silence on the court order which barred the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, from enforcing the tinted glass permit.
NewsBits recalls that a Federal High Court sitting in Delta State, on Friday, slammed the injunction on the IGP. The court said judicial process must be respected and ordered that the status quo be maintained pending the hearing of the matter before it.
A human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong had posted the report on his official X handle, attracting the attention of the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin. Reacting to the post, Hundeyin declared that the police had not yet been officially served with the court order cited by Effiong.
He, however, argued that point number 8 of the court order, which stated that Relief 1, 2, and 3 are hereby refused, is not being reported.
He wrote, “While we have not been officially served the court order you’re referring 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.”
It is unclear whether the Force would still go ahead in implementing the policy despite the court order.
