Oyo CP Warns Motorists: Unregistered Cars Will Be Impounded

The Oyo State Police Command’s enforcement of third-party vehicle insurance highlights the authorities’ push for compliance with road safety regulations. CP Ayodele Sonubi’s stance on impounding unregistered vehicles and prosecuting owners aligns with the broader directive from the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, emphasizing accountability for all road users.

This move is particularly significant in curbing the widespread neglect of vehicle documentation, especially among those driving imported (Tokunbo) cars. The enforcement aims to ensure that every vehicle on the road has at least the minimum required insurance coverage, which provides financial protection in cases of accidents or car loss.

Sonubi’s remarks also address the common misconception that such policies only serve to generate revenue for the government and insurance companies. Instead, he stressed that compliance benefits individual vehicle owners by ensuring they have some form of financial security in case of unforeseen incidents.

The campaign’s immediate effect was seen in the impoundment of vehicles lacking valid documentation, with some motorists acknowledging the importance of the initiative. As this enforcement continues, it will likely increase awareness and encourage compliance, ultimately improving road safety and accountability among drivers in Oyo State.
