Members of the National Motor Vehicle Dealers Association of Nigeria and the Kaduna State Command of the Federal Roads Safety Commission on Wednesday in Kaduna disagreed over allegations that vehicle dealers aid and abet car thefts in the country.

In a goodwill message at a program on “guidelines for licensing dealers and importers for sale of motor vehicles to the public in Nigeria,” organised by the National Automotive Council, the FRSC Kaduna Sector Commander, Francis Udoma told the gathering that most of the car theft across the country thrived simply because motor dealers received stolen vehicles.
