#3rd Party Insurance: Nigeria Police Force Cautions Social Media Influencers, Activists, Against Misleading Citizens

-

 

The Nigeria Police Force has cautioned social media influencers, and members of the civil society organisations against misleading members of the public in issues relating to the Third-party vehicle insurance.

The Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, who made this call, said that the Police attention 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.

According to Adejobi, the Police do not issue third-party insurance as it has been misconstrued by some individuals.

His words: “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.”
