The Bauchi State Police Command, today February 1, embarked on the third-party vehicle insurance policy enforcement as directed by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun.
The Commissioner of Police Bauchi State Command, CP Auwal Musa Muhammad, called upon all personnel to demonstrate professionalism and integrity throughout this critical process.
This initiative aligns with Section 68 of the Insurance Act and Sections 1, 2 – 3 of the Motor Vehicle (Third-Party Insurance) Act, which require all vehicle owners to secure a minimum of Third-Party Insurance before operating their vehicles on Nigerian roads.
The Commissioner underscores the vital role that public trust and confidence play in the effectiveness of the Police Force. Officers must maintain high standards of conduct, as any breaches will carry profound implications.
The Command encourage all vehicle owners in the state to ensure their insurance documents are current, contributing to a safer driving environment for everyone.
To facilitate this enforcement, a dedicated team comprising Divisional Traffic Officers (DTOs), representatives from the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and staff from the Bauchi State Internal Revenue Service will be actively involved.
By collaborating together, we can enhance road safety and effectively uphold the law for the benefit of our community.
