However, following the controversy that trailed the announcement, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun ordered an immediate suspension of the plan to commence the enforcement of the e-CMR.

 

The Police Force at the time said the suspension was to give ample opportunity for mass enlightenment and education of the public on the process, benefits and effectiveness of e-CMR.
