e-CMR e-enforcement patrol van and gadgets. With these equipment, no stress for vehicle owners and policemen on duty. Technology at work. These will be launched when the police are ready for the enforcement. We, however, need to embark on massive public education and enlightenment on the importance and features of the e-CMR to Nigerians and our security system.

The e-CMR debate

The police Central Motor Registry (CMR) has always existed.

However, the Inspector General of Police announced that they were going to digitise the registry and create an electronic central motor registry information system.

He said that policemen would no longer need to stop motorists to demand for their papers because they would be able to access the registry from the computers in their patrol cars and determine if a vehicle is registered, if it has been stolen, etc. People whose cars have been stolen only need to inform the police and the cars would be flagged on the system and the patrol officers would be able to determine that the cars have been stolen simply by checking their in-car computer.

The police set a deadline for motorists to register for the e-CMR.

However, many activists, including the Nigerian Bar Association condemned the system. They said that the law does not permit the police to register vehicles and that the police was taking over the powers of other government agencies. They also condemned the fee that motorists would have to pay to register for the e-CMR (around ₦5,000 to ₦6,000) . They said that Nigerians are going through a lot and the police should not add to their burden. They threatened to sue the police if it forces motorists to have the e-CMR.

The Inspector General of Police subsequently suspended the enforcement of the e-CMR and said that they were going to use the time to sensitise stakeholders on the need for the e-CMR. He said that the law permits the police to develop strategies to combat crime and that it was not true that the e-CMR was illegal.

Note: It was only the enforcement of the e-CMR that was postponed/suspended. Motorists are still registering on the system.

Would've been a good development... But it won't change anything.

A regular police officer will still ask you irrelevant questions and threaten to shoot you instantly.

Most of them harass innocent Nigerians for dressing good and driving nice cars....And not to confirm if your documents are intact or not.

Long long overdue

The idiot above already talking trash

Good development if its used wisely

You are very correct.
Just like the werey police officers that stopped young NYSC guys because they drove benz and demanded for 1 meters also because they didn't present physical drivers licence

Ecmr is a good idea..at least I did mine. But I'm against the money they charges for it...it should be N500 per vehicle and should be done once. Not renewal every year.

They invariably disregarded NBA complaints. Law enforcers encouraging illegality. Welcome to Nigeria.

I thought they stopped it?

It seems the police wants to leave their job and start doing that of road safety. If that's the case, scrap road safety and save this country billions of naira wasted on sustaining FRSC.

Potential Failure

This is a good invention but where is the database required for it to run off?

These things cannot be wished into existence.

Come back after 6 months and those vehicles would become scrap. Nigerian police are terrible at managing their own vehicles.

mention the ones you see they use wisely in this country after six months ?

99% of Nigerians are criminals any innovation that will stop their criminality they must complain that is your case

I wrote a short explanation in the second post. It was a very short explanation. Yet people are asking questions that were answered in the explanation. Is it so difficult to read and understand simple and short posts??

In 3 months time,go and look at those cars.... they must have been over used and abused to the extent that they'll be looking like NEPA vans

Something that they will not maintain. I give them 6 months, police will start collecting bribe on it instead of enforcement. By then the enforcement vehicle don kpai

Hope NPF will not tell us that there is no Data?
I would have preferred an handy type so that the Driver can also View his/her Documents Status.

laudable but the willingness and sincerity of purpose matters.

This upgrade is commendable..

At last, our streets and road will have less of those dirty pickup van..
