Men of Itam Division of the Akwa Ibom Police Command assaulted a pregnant woman over the enforcement of Third Party Insurance policy, in a viral video shared by one Mayor Sylvester, the policemen were seen dragging the pregnant woman until she collapsed.

Bemoaning the bizarre incident, Mayor Sylvester comments:

“This is what the Itam Police Station in Akwa Ibom State has turned the Third Party Insurance thing into.

“They are now acting like animals. These are the kind of irresponsible characters recruited into the force.

“Imagine how a pregnant woman is being roughhandled. I just hope her baby is still alive.

“If the police want to enforce and ensure every vehicle has third party insurance, why not get the insurance company’s representative to be assigned to every police checkpoints?

“So at the time you discover that the insurance of a car has expired, you easily direct the fellow to meet the broker right where you are and renew the insurance and if that is not possible, you take the car to the station.”

The PPRO of Akwa Ibom State Command, DSP Timfon John could not be reached for her comment on the incident.
