The Nigeria Police Force launched an Electronic Central Motor Registry (E-CMR) to improve security in the country.
This was disclosed on X by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday.
According to him, the E-CMR is a comprehensive system designed to streamline vehicle registration processes with a view to strengthening national security.
He added that the website will facilitate swift and efficient tracking of stolen vehicles, thereby significantly increasing chances of recovery.
Furthermore, he noted that there an accurate up to date database of registered vehicles which would aid in the prevention and investigation of vehicle-related crimes such as kidnapping and one-chance activities.
The system is also designed to make it impossible for stolen vehicles to be re-registered and discouraging criminals from engaging in such activities.
The FPRO urged all individuals to take advantage of this platform and visit the official website at cmris.npf.gov.ng to register from the comfort of their homes.
While acknowledging concerns about e-CMR enforcement, he assured that it would be done in the most professional manner with ample notice for registration by all individuals and corporate bodies.
