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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
