The Police Command in Enugu State has continued professional implementation of Third-party Motor Insurance enforcement within the state.
The professional implementation of the directive, which is led by the officer in-charge of the Command’s Motor Traffic Department (MTD), SP Innocent Omeje, is being diligently carried out along Abakaliki Road in Enugu.
Reacting to the enforcement on Saturday in Enugu, the Command’s Spokesman, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said that the exercise was part of the nationwide enforcement of the Third-Party Motor Insurance Policy.
Ndukwe said that during the exercise, several motorists were checked and found to be in possession of valid Third-Party Insurance Certificates, while some others had recently expired certificates and were advised to renew them.
He said, “However, few of the motorists were found without the certificate, leading to the impoundment of the vehicles for necessary legal action.
“The enforcement officers also sensitised motorists on the importance of obtaining their insurance policies from authentic insurance companies to ensure seamless processing of their benefits.
“Additionally, they were enlightened on the need to procure valid motor vehicle licensing documents and register for the Police Electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) certificate to enhance the security of their vehicles.”
The spokesman noted that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, had commended motorists for their understanding, cooperation and voluntary compliance with the directive, emphasising their commitment to being law-abiding citizens.
Ndukwe said that the commissioner urged them to continue cooperating with the enforcement officers and ensure that their vehicles are also registered on the Police e-CMR platform for enhanced security against theft.
