The persistent and unlawful enforcement of the suspended e-CMR policy by officers of the Nigeria Police Force in Imo State, coupled with the continued silence of the Imo State Police Command despite the directive issued by the Inspector-General of Police in July 2024 halting the enforcement of the system, is deeply concerning.
The Imo State Command’s failure to publicly reaffirm the suspension of the e-CMR policy, direct police officers in Imo State to desist from further enforcement, and provide a helpline for Imo residents to report such infractions strongly suggests complicity at the highest levels of the Command.
This concern is further emphasized by the fact that two formal letters previously issued by our Law Firm on 18 April and 29 May 2025 regarding this issue have been met with mere perfunctory acknowledgment and no substantive action.
In view of the Command’s failure to act within the time given, we are now compelled to pursue appropriate legal action. In addition, we intend to formally escalate these acts of extortion and abuse by men of the Nigeria Police in Imo State to the relevant oversight committees of the National Assembly.
We therefore call on members of the public who have recently experienced or are currently experiencing enforcement of the e-CMR Policy or extortion related to it in Imo State to kindly report such incidents by sending a WhatsApp message to 09056396612, containing the following details:
1. Exact location of the incident of enforcement/extortion;
2. Date and time of occurrence;
3. Name or Force Number of any officer involved or any other officer present (as inscribed on the uniform);
4. Any inscription or identifying details on the police vehicle; and
5. Your full name
We shall be collating these pieces of information until 30th June 2025, after which the necessary legal and administrative steps shall be taken.
