The Edo State Commissioner of Police, Betty Enekpen Otimenyin, has urged all law-abiding vehicle owners to get third-party insurance in compliance with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

According to the IGP directive, enforcement of compulsory issuance of third-party insurance for all vehicles in the country commenced on February 1, 2025.

Third-party insurance covers the third party in an accident against damage to vehicles, property, or bodily injuries that may arise.

The Edo CP in a statement issued Saturday night by CSP Moses Yamu noted that the Command has commenced enforcement of the third party insurance accordingly across the State.

She warned that anyone who fails to get his or her vehicle particulars, especially the third-party insurance updated would face sanctions.
