Police detectives in Kano have recovered two stolen vehicles, using the Nigeria Police Force Electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) platform.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Salman Dogo Garba, has urged motor vehicle owners to utilize the opportunity provided by the Nigeria Police Force and register their vehicles in the e-CMR platform for easy tracking and recovery when stolen.

According to the Kano police Command spokesperson, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the vehicles were recovered after the Command received a complaint of stolen vehicles.

On January 1, 2025, a complaint was lodged by a resident of Abuja, stating that unidentified individuals approached him at his car stand located in Zuba, Abuja, expressing interest in a Toyota Corolla 2014 model.

During a test drive, the two suspects brandished a pistol, threatened the victim, and subsequently fled with the vehicle including original documents and two keys.
