INSURANCE: POLICE DOES NOT ISSUE 3RD PARTY INSURANCE – FORCE PRO
– CAUTIONS SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS, ACTIVISTS AGAINST MISLEADING NIGERIANS.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has clarified that it does not issue third party insurance policies.
This was contained in a press statement signed by Force Public Relations Officer, Asst. Commissioner of Police Olumuyiwa Adejobi. He said “The attention of the police has been drawn to misinformation and misleading comments credited to some social media influencers and activists antagonising the police on the issuance and enforcement of the 3rd party insurance policy, where the NPF has been alleged of using the policy to rake in money.
“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to emphasize that it does not issue third-party insurance as it has been misconstrued by some individuals. The responsibility for obtaining this mandatory insurance lies with vehicle owners through their respective insurance companies. The Force has commenced the enforcement operations of the insurance policy with effect from today, February 1, 2025, aiming to enhance road safety and protect the rights of accident victims.
“In light of this enforcement, the Force therefore cautions social media influencers and activists against spreading misinformation regarding insurance policies as the police is solely for the enforcement, not the issuance of the insurance cover.
“Dissemination of accurate information is vital to prevent misleading the public, while misconceptions can eventually lead to non-compliance and potential legal repercussions for motorists.”
