  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality. Enough is enough,” the statement read, adding that further attacks on journalists would be “vehemently resisted.” The assaulted journalists—Charles Opurum of Channels TV, Allwell Ene of Naija FM, Soibelemari Oruwari of Nigeria Info, Ikezam Godswill of AIT, and Femi Ogunkhilede of Supe...

 ‘No more stopping to check papers’, police reveal NPF E-CMR benefits


The Nigeria Police Force has highlighted the potential benefits of the Electronic Central Motor Registry innovation aimed at revolutionising how vehicle information is verified and handled on the road.


The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, shared the development through a series of social media posts on Thursday, highlighting the ease and efficiency of the “e-policing” innovation.


Adejobi said under the leadership of Inspector-General Olukayode Egbetokun, the Electronic Central Motor Registry system has been launched to make roads safer and the policing process smoother.


The FPRO said this new system allows vehicle owners to register their vehicles digitally and provides a quick response for emergencies.


“If your vehicle is registered with the NPF E-CMR and gets stolen, you can instantly flag it as stolen through your online profile,” the statement read.


He said the system then alerts all field officers nationwide within seconds, improving the chances of swift recovery.


He also highlighted that one of the benefits of the E-CMR is the removal of paperwork.


“No more stopping to check papers—our officers are equipped with cutting-edge tech to verify documents in real-time,” one of the tweets read.


“With the NPF’s new E-CMR system, you don’t need to carry around physical documents. Access all your vehicle info digitally—quick, easy, and secure,” it added.


PUNCH Online reported in July 2024 that the IGP ordered the enforcement of the digitalised Central Motor Registry.


He said the move was to modernise and digitize the motor vehicle registration system, and improve the nation’s safety and security framework.


The police expect a digitalized system to bring greater convenience and speed to vehicle ownership transactions through streamlined documentation and verification.


Adejobi had in June said the E-CMR system would simplify vehicle-related services such as ownership transfers, license renewals, and updates to engine or chassis details.


He stated that it would also help prevent the sale of stolen vehicles and improve recovery efforts.
