Amidst criticism, Nigeria police suspend enforcement of e-CMR on vehicle owners
The Nigerian police have announced the suspension of the enforcement of the controversial e-CMR on vehicle owners.
Mr Adejobi said police chief Kayode Egbetokun suspended the enforcement of the certificate to allow for ‘mass enlightenment’ of Nigerians.
The police had earlier announced that the enforcement would commence on 29th July which would have led to sanctions on vehicle owners who do not posses the e-CMR.
NEW SENTINEL learnt that many Nigerians had condemned the earlier announcement and the Nigeria Bar Association gave the police one week to rescind the decision.
The critics argued that it was not the duty of the police to issue such vehicle documents.
