Nigeria Police Unveil E-CMR, Ending Roadblocks for Paper Checks
The Nigeria Police Force has introduced the Electronic Central Motor Registry (E-CMR), highlighting its potential to transform the way vehicle information is tracked and verified, especially in cases of theft.
This innovation promises to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the police force in vehicle registration and recovery.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, shared the advantages of E-CMR on Thursday, noting that one of the key benefits is the elimination of roadblocks for paper checks.
With this new technology, police officers will be able to verify vehicle documents in real-time using advanced tools, ensuring a smoother and faster process without the need to stop drivers unnecessarily.
Adejobi further explained that once a vehicle is registered under the E-CMR system, owners have the ability to immediately report their car as stolen through an online profile.
This swift notification ensures that law enforcement can quickly track and recover the vehicle, improving the chances of its safe return.
The Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, had earlier in July 2024 directed the implementation of the digitalized Central Motor Registry.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the vehicle registration process and strengthen the nation’s security infrastructure.
The digitization aims to streamline the process, making it more secure, efficient, and capable of responding to the country’s evolving safety needs.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
