 THIRD-PARTY MOTOR INSURANCE POLICY ENFORCEMENT: ENUGU POLICE BEGIN FULL IMPLEMENTATION


...CP Kanayo warns against unprofessional conduct by enforcement officers, solicits motorists' cooperation.


The Enugu State Police Command is notifying the public that it has commenced full enforcement of the Third-Party Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy across the state. This follows the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, mandating nationwide enforcement of the policy in compliance with the Insurance Act 2003 and the Motor Vehicle (Third-Party Insurance) Act. The enforcement takes effect from February 1, 2025.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, psc (+), has instructed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Patrol Teams, and State Command's Traffic personnel to ensure strict compliance with this directive. He emphasises the need for professionalism, respect for citizens' fundamental rights, and zero tolerance for extortion or any corrupt practices, warning that officers found guilty of misconduct will be appropriately sanctioned.


To ensure accountability, the Commissioner has set up an Enforcement Monitoring Committee, headed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of the Command’s X-Squad. This committee will oversee the conduct of enforcement officers and ensure that all operations are performed professionally, with officers found violating these standards duly sanctioned.


CP Uzuegbu reiterated that the Third-Party Motor Insurance Policy is the minimum compulsory insurance required by law in Nigeria. It is designed not only to ensure legal compliance but also to protect road users by facilitating financial compensation for damages, injuries, or loss of life resulting from road accidents.


The Commissioner urges all motorists to obtain or renew their third-party insurance policies and cooperate fully with enforcement officers. He encourages them to report any misconduct by police officers to the Command through the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) at 09160002486, 07059160602, or 08176255557.
