The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has vowed to provide free legal services to Nigerians harassed by the police over the controversial tinted glass permit, which it described as illegal.

The NBA, through its Section on Public Interest and Development Law, said the police had no constitutional basis to impose fees or annual renewals on motorists, warning that enforcement of the policy was both unlawful and a revenue-driven scheme.

In a statement yesterday,October 2,2025, the Chairman of the NBA’s Public Interest Litigation Committee, Olukunle Edun (SAN), said the Legal body will invoke the powers of the court to ensure that the Nigeria Police Force does not trample on the rights of Nigerians.

Edun, however, urged any Nigerian, harassed by the police in the purported enforcement of the illegal tinted glass permit, to feel free to contact any of the NBA branches.

According to him, the Human Rights Committees of the 130 branches of the NBA in Nigeria are ready to offer pro bono services to anyone harassed by the police.

Speaking further, Edun noted that it has been estimated that the police may generate at least N3 billion within a month from monies that will be collected, thereby turning the police into a revenue-generating agency of the Federal Government instead of focusing on the more serious issue of crime.
