Saturday, January 18, 2025 - The Kano State Police Command has recovered
two motor vehicles reported stolen, using the Nigeria Police Force’s Electronic
Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) platform.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations
Officer, S.P Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa on Friday.
According to the statement, the incidents occurred on separate occasions
earlier in January.
“On January 1, a resident of Abuja reported that two unidentified
individuals approached his car stand in Zuba, Abuja, expressing interest in a
Toyota Corolla 2014 model. During a test drive, the suspects brandished a
pistol, threatened the victim, and fled with the vehicle, including its
original documents and keys.”
Similarly, on January 4, a Mercedes Benz C300 parked in front of
Luxirian Event Center in Nassarawa GRA, Kano, was stolen from its owner, a
resident of Hadejia Road, Kano.
In response, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba,
deployed detectives from the Anti-Car Theft Unit to recover the stolen
vehicles.
“Acting on information obtained from the e-CMR platform, the team
located the stolen Toyota Corolla behind the old Airport in Bauchi State and
the Mercedes Benz in Shagari Quarters, Kano. The recovery efforts spanned
January 10 to January 15,” the statement added.
Speaking on the operation, CP Salman Dogo Garba commended the detectives
for their efficiency.
He encouraged members of the public to register their vehicles on the
e-CMR platform to enhance security and facilitate quick recovery in case of
theft.
“The e-CMR platform is a vital tool for preventing and addressing
vehicle theft. I urge everyone to take advantage of this system by registering
their vehicles through the website *https://cmris.npf.gov.ng
