IGP Must Comply with Federal High Court Ruling on Tinted Glass Permit Enforcement — CDHR
By Morris Nor// The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) calls on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to immediately comply with the pronouncement of the Federal High Court, Warri, which ordered the suspension of the enforcement of tinted glass permits pending the final determination of the matter before the court.
We remind the IGP and the Nigeria Police Force that the court’s directive is binding, and any continued enforcement action in defiance of that pronouncement is not only unlawful, but also constitutes contempt of court.
Disregard for judicial authority undermines the very foundation of democracy and the rule of law. It also exposes innocent citizens to unlawful arrests, extortion, and harassment under an enforcement regime that the court has already placed under judicial review.
The CDHR strongly warns that any further violation of this court order risks provoking mass civil resistance, possibly surpassing the scale of the EndSARS protests. The Nigerian public is becoming increasingly intolerant of abuse of power and disobedience to constitutional governance.
We therefore demand that the Inspector General of Police immediately halts all enforcement activities related to tinted permits and ensures full compliance with the court’s pronouncement until the case is conclusively decided.
We stand for justice, due process, and the full protection of human rights.
Respect the Court. Obey the Law. Protect the People.
