The Nigeria Police Force has clarified that it has not been officially served with the court order halting the enforcement of the tinted glass permit.
A Federal High Court sitting in Warri had on Friday ordered the police to suspend the exercise and maintain the status quo, urging the Force to respect ongoing judicial proceedings.
Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, had drawn attention to the ruling in a post on X, prompting a response from the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.
Reacting, Hundeyin stressed that the police were yet to receive the formal court order. He also faulted the selective reporting of the ruling, pointing out that part of the order (point number 8) indicated that Reliefs 1, 2, and 3 were refused.
“While we have not been officially served the court order you’re referencing, let me 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,” Hundeyin wrote.
