The Enugu State Police Command has recovered 15 stolen, snatched, or abandoned vehicles in various operations in May 2025. The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has urged vehicle owners to enhance the security of their vehicles by registering them on the Nigeria Police Force’s electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) platform.
The e-CMR platform aids in the prompt identification and recovery of stolen vehicles across Nigeria, supporting effective policing through real-time verification of vehicle ownership.
Additional Security Measures
CP Giwa advises the public to install security features such as:
Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) tracking systems
Car alarms
Mechanical anti-theft devices like steering and pedal locks
These measures can help prevent theft and assist law enforcement in recovering stolen vehicles and arresting suspects.
The Enugu State Command restated its commitment to proactive policing and reducing incidents of vehicle theft.
The Command said police have been working to apprehend suspects and recover stolen vehicles, including a recent operation that led to the recovery of a stolen Toyota Camry.
The Enugu State Command encourages residents to take advantage of the NPF e-CMR platform and other security measures to protect their vehicles.
