The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has rejected claims circulating on social media that it is using the enforcement of third-party motor insurance as a way to generate revenue.
According to Afripost, in a statement issued on Saturday, February 1, 2025, and signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police clarified that it is not involved in the issuance of third-party insurance policies, contrary to recent claims made by certain social media personalities and activists.
“The responsibility of obtaining third-party insurance lies with vehicle owners through their insurance companies,” Adejobi stated.
He explained that the police’s role is limited to enforcing compliance, a process that officially began on February 1, 2025, aimed at enhancing road safety and protecting the rights of accident victims.
Adejobi urged social media users to stop spreading inaccurate information about the policy, warning that such misinformation could cause confusion and lead to non-compliance with the law.
“Accurate information is vital to prevent misleading motorists, as any misunderstanding could result in legal consequences for those failing to meet their insurance obligations,” he said.
The police reaffirmed their dedication to enforcing road safety laws without any financial motives.
