In line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has commenced the enforcement of the mandatory minimum Third-Party Motor Vehicle Insurance from February 1, 2025, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.

All vehicle owners in the FCT are required to possess a valid Third-Party Insurance policy before operating on public roads. Those without any form of insurance are advised to get insured immediately to avoid penalties.

This policy ensures that accident victims receive necessary compensation while reducing the financial burden on vehicle owners.

The FCT Police Command warns that non-compliance with this legal requirement will attract strict enforcement measures. The enforcement is part of efforts to ensure adherence to road safety regulations and protect all road users.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Olatunji Disu, psc, has directed officers assigned to carry out the enforcement to be professional, courteous, and firm in the discharge of their duties. He also emphasized that no form of harassment or extortion of motorists would be tolerated. The general public is urged to cooperate with the police as this enforcement exercise is aimed at ensuring the safety and security of all road users in the FCT.
