This was made known in a post on the Police X handle on Friday.

According to the post, one can conveniently register and manage vehicle information online, track stolen vehicles and prevent fraudulent activities.

The post reads, โ€œGood day, good citizens of Nigeria!

โ€œThe 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. Letโ€™s work together to make our roads safer!โ€

DAILY POST reported that the Police has earlier announced plans to commence the enforcement of the digitalized Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) on the 29th of July, 2024.

However, following the controversy that trailed the announcement, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun ordered an immediate suspension of the plan to commence the enforcement of the e-CMR.

The Police Force 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.
