The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, Mamman Giwa has urged vehicle owners to enhance the security of their vehicles by registering them on the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) platform, just as the command recovered 15 vehicles in May, 2025.
The commissioner noted that the e-CMR is a vital national database that aids in the prompt identification and recovery of stolen vehicles across Nigeria, and supports effective policing through real-time verification of vehicle ownership.
The commissioner advised the public to install security features such as Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) tracking systems, car alarms, and mechanical anti-theft devices like steering and pedal locks.
These measures “not only help prevent theft but also assist law enforcement in swiftly recovering stolen vehicles and arresting suspects.
Giwa emphasized that while the Police remain committed to proactive policing and reducing incidents of vehicle theft in Enugu State, vehicle owners must also take personal responsibility by remaining vigilant and promptly securing their vehicles, especially when parked.
The Command recovered 15 stolen, snatched, or abandoned vehicles in various operations in May 2025.
