Hello guys,

There’s this anti vehicle theft solution a private business is proposing to Nigeria motorists.

And it’s all about getting a confidential identification number for your vehicle.

This can protect one’s vehicle to be sold illegally and also protect vehicle buyers buying stolen vehicle.

This is achievable because if a vehicle is stolen to be resold to an unsuspecting customer. All the buyer needs to do is to ask for the confidential identification number assigned to the vehicle for the seller to prove ownership. Since it’s a confidential number only know to the vehicle owner, it will be absolutely difficult for a vehicle thief to sell such vehicle. It’s just like our ATM PIN and the ATM Card itself. If one has an ATM Card without its PIN, I want to believe that plastic card is useless.

How can this be done?

This solution has to do with an electronic windscreen sticker containing an hidden identification number that can only be reveal by an authorized app via QR code scanning.

The hidden identification number will be assigned to every vehicle registration in the national vehicle registration database and the identification number will be confidentially sent to the vehicle owner, also the electronic sticker will be placed on vehicle’s windscreen.

The major essence of this is for vehicle buyers to have the ability to verify a vehicle for sale in no time. And also for vehicle verification to be done with a vehicle owner’s consent.

Guys can this discourage and tackle vehicle theft in Nigeria?
