Police begin enforcement of third-party vehicle insurance policy in Jigawa
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.
