Police again? So within one year a car has been stolen, recovered and auctioned? Nigerian Police is fast and furious in the wrong things!

To be fair, the police have been auctioning recovered but unclaimed vehicles after advertising them in national dailies for as long as I can remember. The original owner must have missed the advertisements and the vehicle was auctioned to another person for a low price. I can only fault the police for not contacting the original owner once the car was found, since he had already made a report and presumably dropped his contact details.

The owners best option is probably to contact the successful buyer and persuade him to give back the car after paying him what it cost him at the auction; this is because the auction is a legally recognized and regulated process.

My two cents.


Given the police' dirty past records,coupled with the acts that they re engaged in presently and the ones they would be in future,can u wager that the guy was adequately notified/contacted? I won't even be surprised if it was a senior police officer that bought the ride.. They re the least disciplined amongst the military and paramilitary outfits we have in this country..

No wonder the IGP was summoned up by the Senate for questioning. So many impunity going on within the police force.

Imagine those one arrested in Kwara state or so, selling youths for N5m per head. To be honest, craziness dey the head of all our police chiefs. How on earth can you sell someone car that's just been recovered from the thieves. I don't seem to understand them sometime.

You can't be fair to them if they didn't contact him after he made an official report before auctioning the car.

Yes police do auction goods , especially confiscated goods or goods gotten from criminal proceeds (proven)

However, auctioning a vehicle recovered from robbers is a different game. And auctioning it within 6 months isn't admissible.

I'm shocked you're turning the burden of recovering the car to the owner when he had reported same to the police in February this year.


Mr, the police in Nigeria is a central unit and command so once you make a report in a police unit, you have reported the matter to the police entirely.

So the police should get the man's car back to him.


And on the side note, I'm sure the car isn't yet auctioned, just another gimmick to extort and fleece the man for more money.
Anyone who has gone to police to recover stolen vehicles will tell you their story.

Shame to Nigeria police all the same.

no way. The vehicle was stolen and was reported in a police station in Rivers there. So why should another police station recover it auction it? Meanwhile elenwo and okporo police stations in port harcourt are just about 2 or 3 km from each other.

Clearly indicates that the police do not have an efficient or effective network. Once a car or other property is recovered by the police anywhere in Nigeria, it should be uploaded on a central system that would inform every single police station throughout Nigeria.

What is so hard about this?

This is Nigeria and u and I know for sure that naija na cast. The option u gave is not valid because even ur national ID card is hard to come by.

That means the dumb fools in black uniforms are only cooking up tall tales to make the man dole out more money.

Reminiscent of criminals I recovered my Dell laptop from because I had it bio-locked and the head thief said to me " I bought this laptop for so-and-so amount just pay me the sum and go with your laptop."

Even if you recovered your stolen car yourself, the Nigeria police will make you pay so much you will end up even hating the car.

I am not blaming the police... its not their job to build the network.

Our duty is to point out things that are not working and make enough noise about it so that instead of it seeming normal to the next generation, they will grow up realizing that things are very wrong here.

If we allow ourselves and the young ones of today to settle into accepting rubbish then we can have very little hope of change. Change begins with refusing to accept the norms, and i refuse to accept that we cannot build simple systems in Nigeria.

According to an online report, a Range Rover owner was shocked to discover that his vehicle which was stolen at gun point earlier this year, has been auctioned after it was recovered by police operatives in Rivers state. Read the full details below;

This Range Rover was stolen from Dennis Banigo at gunpoint in February, 2017 in Port Harcourt. He reported the case at the Elelenwo police station, Port Harcourt. This October, the same car was found parked at a Police station in Okporo. When the owner went to recover his vehicle. He was told by the Police that his stolen vehicle although still parked at the Police station has been auctioned early October, 2017. I wonder when it became police job description to auction stolen Vehicles. let us prevail on the police to return this vehicle to Mr Dennis Banigo.

What do you mean by let us prevail on the police? What happen to the law court that he cannot sue the police? He should contact a sound lawyer and recover his car without delay.

The owner of the stolen made an official report to the police in the same city. In fact the stations in questions are just few kilometres apart. How can you possibly defend such obvious deliberate corruption on the part of the police.

The very essence of making the report, which for a stolen vehicle is expensive to do, is for the police to contact the owner if the vehicle is recovered.
The person actually pays a fee for the report for that purpose.

It is dumb and inexcusable to auction a vehicle on the premise that the owner did not see an advert. Vehicles are registered, they have chasis and engine numbers and can easily be traced from FRSC or customs.

Your comment is just provocative.

Are u ok? Vehicle that has been in the custody of the police for only 8months. Because its a range rover they speedily auctioned it off. If they are honest they should call the buyer refund his money and kindly give the owner his vehicle. What rubbish. That your 2 cents should be converted to 2 slaps angry

If the police were sincere they could have contacted the owner through getting is info via his plate number. Commit a crime with your car and see if the law enforcement wont trace you easily.
I assumption is that some officer had interest in the vehicle from day one.
