THE Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has reintroduced the enforcement of the earlier suspended and controversial digitalised Central Motor Registry (e-CMR), which it said is an advanced digital system designed to improve vehicle security, fight crime and simplify vehicle registration.
The NPF, in a post on its X handle, on Friday, August 30, explained that vehicle owners can conveniently register and manage vehicle information online, track stolen vehicles and prevent fraudulent activities.
According to the post: “Good day, good citizens of Nigeria! The Nigeria Police Force has enhanced vehicle security with the introduction of the e-Central Motor Registry (e-CMR).
“This advanced digital system is designed to improve vehicle security, fight crime and simplify vehicle registration. E-CMR ensures that every vehicle has a digital footprint.
“You can conveniently register and manage vehicle information online, track stolen vehicles and prevent fraudulent activities.
“Let’s work together to make our roads safer!”
Recall that the Police had earlier announced plans to commence its enforcement on July 29, but suspended the action, following the controversy that trailed the announcement, with the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Kayode Egbetokun, ordering an immediate suspension of the planned enforcement.
The NPF, at the time, said the suspension was to give ample opportunity for mass enlightenment and education of the public on the process, benefits and effectiveness of e-CMR.
