Help My Car Was Towed By Lastma by VEVEDIHNO: 7:48pm On Jul 08, 2022
Greetings fellow Nairalanders,

I had a terrible day with Lastma very early today (time 6:30am). I drove to drop a friend at his work place. Getting to Mile 2 I noticed lots of trailers blocked all main roads and even the service lane. All private cars and commercial vehicles had to reverse taking the service lane diverting to another route to be able to burst out to Maza maza, unfortunately I was the last on the lane and some police men and Lastma jumped in front of me asking me why I followed a one way, I explained to them that they can see everywhere blocked with trailers and no vehicles can proceed which themselves know about and I asked them why did they not stop other vehicles why is it me, during that process a Lastma opened my car and jumped in immediately dragging to have my car key. I didn’t give him the chance to do that and that provoked them to start throwing me punches while the police men stood watching.

Actually during this process I had to bite one of the Lastma on his hand while he was dragging to have my car key, he finally got the key and they got into my car and drove off with my car. The police men also escaped with them in my vehicle.

I was able to talk to people witnessing all that was happening and they told me the Lastma are from Festac. Now I have my phone and atm card inside my car I asked them to let me have it before they drove off so at least I won’t be stranded but they told me I can’t have them. I had to trek from that point to Festac where their office is. God so good I found my car Parked inside and I walked inside wanting to know what to do to get my vehicle back, a man there said they’ll give me a form which I’ll take to the court on Wednesday then afterwards my car will be seized forever, I believe he’s just trying to scare me.

Please help me with suggestions on what to do to be able to get my vehicle back. It’s weekend tomorrow and on Monday and Tuesday will be public holiday. I am really confused on what actions to take on Wednesday.

Thanks In advance.

In that same office. All you need to do is to familiarize codedly with one of them and tell the person about your situation. But you will spend depending on your luck

They sent me message this morning to be able to check my offense on their website (Payvis) using my plate number which I did and to my surprise my offense on the website was not a one way, they have listed over three offense which I never committed .

1. Driving with Expired Insurance
(First Offender)[NGN]
20.000.00

2
Driving with Expired Vehicle
License (First Offender)[NGN]
20,000.00

3
Driving without a valid
roadworthiness certificate (RWC)
(1st Offender)[NGN]
20,000.00

Total
60,000.00

All of the above listed offense are false.
And they are giving me 7 days to make the payment

I think I’ll just have to find a way of coming up with this amount to get my vehicle back.

Thanks for your response.
