The Kwara State Police Command has begun enforcing third-party vehicle insurance across the state.
In a statement, the command’s spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said the enforcement is being led by the Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, in collaboration with the Deputy Commissioner of Operations.
According to the statement, all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and heads of tactical teams have been directed to monitor motorists’ compliance with the policy.
The Commissioner of Police warned officers to uphold professionalism during the enforcement exercise, emphasizing that the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force must not be compromised.
The enforcement aligns with Section 68 of the Insurance Act and Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Motor Vehicle (Third-Party Insurance) Act, which mandate all vehicle owners to obtain third-party insurance before operating on Nigerian roads.
