Nigeria police launch portal to curb car theft

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has launched a rejuvenated digitalised Central Motor Registry (CMR) Information Service to curb the menace of car theft in the country.

A statement by the NPF spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, urged Nigerians and residents to utilise the portal effectively.

Mr Adejobi said the digitalised CMRIS will effectively serve the purpose of obtaining additional information from members of the public about stolen vehicles and populating the Stolen Vehicle database so as to ensure that vehicles to be registered by the CMR are not stolen and to aid investigation of stolen vehicles and vehicle-associated incidents.
