Victor Olaiya, the Commissioner of Police for Kwara State, has recommended drivers in the state to register their cars in the recently implemented Central Motor Registry (CMR), a digital police database.
Olaiya stated that in order to combat car-related offenses and improve vehicle security, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has digitally reopened and remodeled the central motor register office.
automobile theft, automobile snatching, abduction, carjacking, and hit-and-run occurrences are among the offenses listed by the CP. These crimes are mostly linked to the usage of unregistered vehicles and tinted windows.
He detailed the sorts of vehicles that would be covered by the new policy in a statement made on Monday in Ilorin. These include tricycles, motorcycles, trucks, cars with saloon cars, SUVs, and buses of various kinds.
Requests for motor vehicle information, changes in vehicle ownership, number plate requests, and requests for changes to the chassis or body of vehicles are among the various services that may be accessed in the newly digitalized office.
The CP enumerated for the general public the advantages of better security, effective law enforcement, criminal deterrence, accelerated investigation, and national security resulting from the digitalization of vehicle information through the central motor register.
According to him, individuals may feel more secure about the security of their cars now that there is a digital CMR in place. Accurate and up-to-date vehicle data will help prevent and quickly resolve vehicular crimes, protecting citizens’ assets in the process.
Olaiya urged state residents who own cars to take advantage of the chance to register their vehicles—including tricycles and motorcycles—in the digital CMR and contribute to the group’s endeavor to improve society’s security and safety.
