Jucol: A good look at most discussions on this forum shows that most of us know very little about the cars we have spent so much to buy. This is because the Licensing Authorities do not request for and or provide the essential technical details of a vehicle during registration.I'm sorry to have quoted u but it's for emphasis. I'm currently working on security of car theft which would be in collaboration with other agencies. Kindly send a prototype of vehicle licence of your country of residence. State also process, requirements etc. In the event of theft, what measures are taken to recover such. Send it (emenunigeria@gmail.com or info@emenunigeria.com.ng). Thanks. 1 Like |

Siena:Bro, please get it clear; Nigeria police dn't care or knw abt engine capacity. All they want is a match of the engine number and what is written on your particulars. If B is mistakenly written as 3 or vice-versa, then you are pronounced a CRIMINAL with a stolen vehicle. Your points are informative and noted bt nt a clear response to the subject. Merci mon ami. |

Sometime in 2011, i was travelling back to Abuja, in one of my trips to East that year. I was packed at a check point somewhere in Kogi state. The Police man asked for my driver's Licence and vehicle papers. After glancing at the documents, he asked me to open the car bonnet. I did. He then asked me to show him where the engine number was engraved on the engine. I told him i didnt know and i wasnt interested to find out. That if he really wanted to see it, he would have to find it himself. So, which one concern me! Well, he looked at the engine bay, sigh and gave me back my papers. Trust V6 engine! The whole engine bay was covered with the engine. Where would he have started to look for the numbers? I gathered online that to see the engine number on that engine, the engine will have to be pulled down from the car. As soon as he gave me back the car documents and my driver's Licence, he said " Oga, anything for me?" "Now you are talking", i mutered. I like those of them that simply beg for "greener pastures", rather than try to waste my time. Ikenna. 2 Likes |

Ogojohn: MY BROTHER THAT PRESENTLY RESIDE IN CAMEROON RETURNED WITH HIS TOYOTA CAMRY ONCE AND I TOOK IT OUT. ON A POLICE CHECK POINT THEY STOPPED ME. WHEN THEY CHECKED THE CUSTOM PAPERS THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO NIGERIA WIT. TO MY SURPRISE. THE CAR HAD ON THE THE CHASSIS NUMBER. AT THE PLACE WHERE THE ENGINE NUMBER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WAS BLANK.THE POLICE MEN NOW TERMED THE VEHICLE A STOLEN VEHICLE EVEN WIT THE OFFICIAL CUSTOM PAPER WITH WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS PERMITTED TO COME INTO NIGERIA WAS PRESENTED. I WAS MADE TO PATH WITH SOME MONEY AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS DELAY AT THE POLICE STATION. WHEN I CAME BACK I ASKED MY BROTHER WHY THE PAPERS DIDN'T HAVE THE ENGINE NUMBER. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IN CAMEROON THAT VEHICLE ENGINE ARE ALSO PARTS IN A VEHICLE THAT CAN BE CHANGED THEREFORE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PARTICULARS.Your experience sums up everything this thread is about. The Police SHOULD NOT BE ASKING FOR ENGINE NUMBER. NOT AT ALL. This is what l was expecting Sienna to say from the on-set. In the "WEST", vehicles are identified by a LOG BOOK. This document has all sorts of information (and is updated as it passes from hand to hand, during vehicle sales) but the most important ones which do not change (except if the vehicle enters another country, in which case, the Reg/plate number may change) are: Vehicle Identification Number (its on your seat belt, car chasis and about anything permanent on that car) Engine size, Transmission, Date of first registration, number of previous owner, CURRENT owner name and address, color and some other stuffs. Now, it is THE POLICE that needs to be educated on how to do their job, what to look for when they want to identify a "truly stolen vehicle" (as against just setting-people-up for extortion). You cannot blame the people for inefficiency and deliberate ploy to extort, by the Police. The Police, followed by the Judiciary are the biggest enemy of Nigeria and like NEPA! , until we sort out these two, Nigeria can never reducee its rate of corruption nor develop. if a Policeman sees you taking your TV for repair, (A TV you've had for donkey years!), he will ask for the reciept you were given when you bought the TV Is there a report of a stolen TV in the last five minutes or why is he so interested in the TV's receipt? Same goes with Laptop ..and to mention the ridiculous, they asked a guy for receipt of his "Italian Leather shoes" Guy said it was sent as a gift to him by his brother in Italy and Policeman went: This is a stolen item, if you cannot provide the receipt! So, the problem is not the people as Sienna alludes, it is the Police and Judicial system that is so corrupt, they are now so brazen. I agree that "lack of basic knowledge" about your "rights" can make you more susceptible to their antics but even when you know your "right" (from your left! ), their determination to extort you now makes them VIOLENT and many a "knowledgeable peeps" have been sent to their grave by those criminals in Uniform. What manner of Police arrests a man in "shorts and T-shirt + Bathroom slippers" who just walks across the road to buy Sardine from the Mallam's Kiosk? Arresting him for "wandering" even when the man points to his house-door some 50meters away and asked to be taken there to confirm his identity? But THEY REFUSED ....because they have a "target amount" they must extort from innocent people! American Police and U.K Police no dey do like that naah? Well sha, we all know 'whatz-up' with Nigerian police. Lastpage! 2 Likes |

Are there no Policemen or Licensing Authority staff in the house to contribute?? Can someone invite them to join the discussion? They could have an explanation we are not aware of. |

My car came with chasis number on the engine i.e. What is written on the engine is exacly the same as the chasis number. When I registered the car, because I understand that engine number shud b different, I simply wrote not seen. No police has bothered me about that and if anyone does, I will tell him to remove my engine and search for the engine number himsef. 1 Like |

Our cars here have VIN numbers, located under the windscreen for easy identification. a long digit number containing letters which dexcribes such things as make, model, year, and includes engine number. The VIN is included on everything ..registration, insurance, when you buy and sell etc. Police returned my car very quickly to me when it was stolen due to this |
Re: The Nigerian Police And Engine Number. by dammieplus: 10:40pm On Mar 14, 2016 |
The Problem is partly with the vehicle licensing authorities. The spece for "Engine number" should not be on the proof of ownership or vehicle license at all. |
Re: The Nigerian Police And Engine Number. by phibetakappa: 11:50pm On Mar 14, 2016 |
This is the first time I'm hearing of the Police checking engine number of vehicles at checkpoints. In Ghana, the police mostly check your roadworthy certificate, insurance and vehicle income tax(commercial vehicles), these are even stickers on the the windscreen, so they just check that themselves. The only thing they will ask you to provide is your drivers license. |
