The Jigawa State Police Command has commenced the enforcement of the third-party vehicle insurance policy across the state.

This was contained in a statement signed by the command’s spokesman, SP Lawan Shiisu Adam, and made available to newsmen.

According to the statement, the move is in accordance with Section 68 of the Insurance Act 2003.

“This is in compliance with the directive issued by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, to all state police commissioners.”

The command urged motorists to obtain a valid third-party insurance policy from only licensed insurance entities authorized by the National Insurance commission to transact motor insurance business in the country.

The Commissioner of Police emphasized the importance of the policy, stating that in the event of an accident, it is easy to facilitate the safety of innocent third parties and ensure financial recovery/compensation for damages, injuries, or loss of life.

The command advised vehicle owners who lack insurance to obtain it as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment.

The exercise will continue throughout the state until all vehicle owners adhere to the policy.

The CP, however, warned officers involved in the national assignment to maintain a high level of professionalism and respect for human rights.

He urged them to be civil/polite and avoid extortion of road users.

The CP noted that any errant officers found wanting will face disciplinary action.

Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu has named Deputy Commissioner of Police Anthony Okon Placid as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), the official spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force.

The appointment follows Disu’s recent assumption of office as the 23rd substantive IGP after confirmation by the Nigeria Police Council and swearing-in by President Bola Tinubu.

Placid replaces Assistant Commissioner of Police Benjamin Hundeyin, who served in the role for about six months under former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.

Hundeyin’s tenure ended as part of a wider administrative reshuffle aimed at boosting efficiency, professionalism, and accountability within the Force.

DCP Placid, a seasoned senior officer, now assumes responsibility for the Force’s public communications, media engagement, and strategic messaging amid ongoing national security challenges.

Police authorities confirmed the appointment earlier today, with expectations that the new spokesperson will prioritize transparency, public trust, and stronger citizen-police relations.

Further details on Placid’s career background and the IGP’s specific directives are expected in forthcoming official statements from Force Headquarters.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed deep shock and profound sorrow over the sudden passing of one of its dedicated and highly respected chieftains, Dr. Chamberlain Nnamdi Dunkwu, who died at the age of 54.

In a press statement released today, the party described Dr. Dunkwu as an energetic, selfless, and fiercely loyal member whose tireless efforts played a major role in building and consolidating the APC’s structures in Ika Federal Constituency, Delta State, and across broader regions.

Dr. Dunkwu passed away on March 7, 2026, after a brief illness. At the time of his death, he was serving as Deputy Chief of Staff (Legislative) to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, GCON.

He had previously held the position of Special Adviser on Members’ Affairs to the Speaker of the 9th Assembly, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

A devout Knight of Saint Christopher (KSC), Dr. Dunkwu was also the President of the Nigerian Aquatics Federation (NAqF), where he passionately advocated for the development of aquatic sports, grassroots talent nurturing, and youth empowerment.

Known for his vibrant life of public service and philanthropy, his contributions extended far beyond politics into community development and national sports administration.

The APC noted that his untimely departure has left “a yawning void that will be difficult to fill,” and emphasized that his legacy of dedication, loyalty, and service will be deeply missed by the party and the nation.

The party prayed for divine strength for his immediate family to bear the irreparable loss, and extended condolences to all APC members in Ika Federal Constituency, Delta State, and across the country during this period of grief.

The statement closed with a poignant farewell: “Amazing Grace! Amazing Grace! May His Grace lead you home…

To that old rugged cross I will ever be true, its shame and reproach gladly bear; then he’ll call me someday to my home far away, where his glory forever I’ll share.

”Fare thee well, dear compatriot!
