Joe asked the court to restrain the police from implementing or further implementing the tinted glass permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive application.
He also sought an order restraining the police from stopping, harassing, arresting, detaining, extorting or otherwise interfering with his constitutional rights and those of other citizens and motorists under the guise of enforcing the policy.
In the enrolment of order arising from the motion ex parte, the court granted all the applicant’s prayers.
The court restrained the respondents from “implementing, enforcing or further implementing” the tinted glass permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
Egwu also restrained the police from stopping, harassing, arresting, detaining, extorting or otherwise interfering with the constitutional rights of the applicant and other citizens.
The rights cited include dignity of the human person, privacy, freedom of movement and ownership of property.
The court further restrained the respondents from continuing to use the Parkway Projects account, described as a private account, to conduct any government business pending the determination of the suit.
Justice Egwu granted an order for substituted service on the first and second respondents through the commissioner of police, Delta State command, at the police headquarters in Asaba.
Although the applicant was absent when the matter was called, he was represented by a legal team led by Kunle Edun (SAN).

The hearing of the motion on notice was fixed for December 24, 2025.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
