A few months ago, I observed that many of my friends were posting pictures of a stolen car on their WhatsApp status. I later discovered that the stolen car belonged to a close friend of mine who is a car dealer.

Some weeks ago, I got good news that the car had been found in Kaduna.

However, tonight my friend (the vehicle owner) posted a heartbreaking update about the case on his WhatsApp status. I was doubting whether to post it on Nairaland but since he has posted it on twitter himself, I'll just copy his tweets and share it here.

I write to seek urgent intervention of the @PoliceNG_CRU @PoliceNG @Princemoye1 @KadunapoliceNG @OsunPpro & all well-meaning Nigerians in the recovery of my stolen Toyota Corolla (2011 model sport edition) held by the anti-car theft section of the SCID of Kaduna state command.

2/ The vehicle was stolen from Ede military barracks on July 6, 2023, and found in Kaduna on September 12, 2023. Despite evidence proving ownership, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (SCID) Kaduna, DCP Yusuf A. Abdul, has refused to release the vehicle and instead, seems to ...

You know what's interesting about this part?
According to what I heard, when the so-called Captain Adamu showed up at the barracks gate, the soldiers on duty saluted him and greeted him like he was very familiar with them. Immediately the Captain Adamu drove off with the car, the soldiers changed face to the guys who went to deliver the car. They said they don't know anything about their deal and they don't know the man.

What is this?! People using an army facility to commit robbery and using the police institution to defend their robbery!

I don't think a society can get worse than this.

I always say it, the problem of Nigeria is that nobody ever pays for their crimes or wrongdoings. People have perfected the crime of evading justice in this Nigeria.

Everyday crimes occur and nobody ever gets punished. No one is called to account. No one pays for their misdeeds. This is the major problem with Nigeria.

Accidents happen, no investigation to see if it was due to reckless driving, incompetent mechanic or bad road. We just continue with life as if it's all normal.

No, it isn't normal. Criminals must be made to pay for their crimes. Anyone standing in the way of justice must be treated as an accomplice in crime and punished as well.

Na wah..

Corruption in Nigeria is definitely because, lots of systems created to effectively drive the country to become better is manipulated by Money.

You might have a good case with evidence, but the accused has money. You will lose and risked being jailed.

Unfortunately, this is the order of the day. For example, a thug impaled someone's eyes around this time last year. The thug works for a very big church (perhaps the biggest church in the country). I tell you that the thug is still walking free today. This one is story for another day.

Imagine a police institution covering a petty thief! This isn't the first but it will be this criminal Alhaji's last.
