Those hawking fake
insurance certificates are committing a great crime against humanity, the
Commissioner for Insurance Fola Daniel, has said.
Daniel in a recent
interview with a national daily said fake certificates deny victims of
accidents and other risks opportunity to be compensated, adding that the National
Insurance Commission (NAICOM) is working assiduously with security agents to
stem the menace.
He called on the pubic
to desist from patronizing fake insurance certificate sellers and obtain their
covers from registered insurance companies with the assurance that in the event
of any mishap, appropriate remedies are obtainable under such policies.
He said: “We have
enjoyed the support of all law enforcement agencies including the Police in our
efforts to eradicate hawking of fake insurance certificates, particularly motor
insurances. Those hawking fake insurance certificates are committing a great
crime against humanity.
“If a man buys a
third party insurance paper and continue to drive round the town and he hits
anybody in an accident, the victim should be compensated for the injury, if the
cover was procured from a licensed insurance company. On the other hand,
procurement from unlicensed company, have no compensation value and the victims
or dependants left to fate.
“I seize this
opportunity to advise Nigerians to desist from patronizing fake insurance
certificate sellers and obtain their covers from registered insurance companies
with the assurance that in the event of any mishap, appropriate remedies are
obtainable under such policies.”
