An Ibadan-based lawyer, Barrister Abiodun Amole, has declared that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun or any of his officers lack the power to enforce third party insurance in the country.
Amole made this declaration during an interview with DAILY POST in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Saturday.
Our correspondent reports that Egbetokun had earlier ordered his men to enforce third party insurance nationwide. https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/31/igp-directs-enforcement-of-third-party-insurance-nationwide/
DAILY POST reports that the enforcement commenced on Saturday, 1st February. https://dailypost.ng/2025/02/01/third-party-insurance-police-impound-defaulting-vehicles-in-akwa-ibom/
But, Amole, in his reaction, described the action of the police as illegal and unconstitutional.
The legal luminary told DAILY POST that the Police Act is the extant law which strictly regulates the operations and/or powers of the Police in Nigeria
