A Nigerian woman has sparked online reactions after alleging that police officers stopped her during a journey and demanded a “CMR” document, a requirement she said she had never encountered before.
In a viral social media post, the lady expressed frustration, noting that she drove the same vehicle to Lagos and returned without being asked to present such a document. She questioned the sudden introduction of the CMR check, describing it as a possible tactic used by some officers to extort money from unsuspecting road users.
The incident has triggered confusion among travellers, many of whom claim they are unfamiliar with any official document known as CMR. The development has reignited conversations around transparency, accountability, and uniform enforcement of traffic regulations.
Several Nigerians have since shared similar experiences online, calling on authorities to clarify the legitimacy of the CMR demand and curb alleged roadside harassment.
