fineboynl: the other person buy a stolen car. They copied your friend chassis and use it for that stolen one. It’s either it was done abroad or here in Nigeria depending pn how professional it was carried out. But unfortunately the original car which vin was copied unluckily find it way to the same country.
Return the car to the dealership. Reporting to police is a long battle and expenses.
What year and model is the car?
You are right, the dealer was even the one who reported to State CID yaba.
Autobayng: Buying a used car without a VIN report is a gamble—one that could cost you everything.
Cloned VINs, stolen vehicles, hidden accidents, and mileage fraud are more common than you think. A Vehicle History Report powered by a VIN check exposes the truth before you hand over your money.
From accident and theft records to ownership history, recalls, and mileage verification, a VIN report helps you spot red flags early and avoid scams designed to look “clean” on the surface.
Smart buyers don’t guess—they verify.
✔ Detect cloned or fake VINs ✔ Uncover hidden damage and fraud ✔ Confirm ownership and vehicle authenticity ✔ Buy with confidence and peace of mind
Baba you think that VIN check was not done, it was done, take note that VIN check online like epic vin and the rest will not show the chassis no has been used on auto Reg.
In short this my guy car and what we saw online are same there is no difference

Autobayng: it’s possible for two cars to appear to have the same VIN—but it should never happen legitimately. When it does, it’s almost always VIN cloning.
Here’s what’s likely happening in the case you described 👇
How two cars can end up with the same VIN
A VIN is supposed to be globally unique. If two cars share one VIN, it usually means:
One car is genuine and the other is cloned, or
Both cars are illegal in some way (less common).
In VIN cloning, criminals copy the VIN from a legally registered car (e.g., the white car registered in January) and place it on another vehicle (e.g., the purple car imported in July). They often create convincing documents to make the cloned car look legitimate.
To avoid falling victim to this, always check a vehicle’s VIN history before buying. You can do a free check here: 👉 Free VIN Check Tool on Autobayng https://autobayng.com/free-vin-check-tool/
montumonami: One of the vehicles is most likely stolen. Could be from the country it came from. Plug in an OBD scanner to confirm if the VIN is same with what is on the body
I have been hearing of VIN cloning but i never believed, Someone told me he bought a car the car colour is purple and when he checked the VIN that was what he saw online (same purple colour) as a matter of fact his custom paaper has been verified multiiple times as been legit. His car came into the country july last year.
The guy wanted to register his car only for them to tell him that the chassis no. (ViN) has already been used by someone else. Further check reveal the car using the VIN is a white car. And the car was registered january last year.
The guy is confused, the vendor has refused to coollect the car back, he said the buyer should report to police and frsc so they can incalidate the other person registration, is that even possible?
Whois: For your own interest don't register the car though the same car dealer. They might hide issues about the car document from you. The vin number might be altered, etc
You see this here ehn...
Who nor go nor go know
Baba i go buy foreign used car o, we check VIN, check custom paper even verify the custom paper via police everything legit.
Buyer say make he help me register car, we say make he nor worry our guy go help us.
You believe say they put car VIN for autoreg, autoreg say car has already been registered, we say make we verify we put vin for autoreg one motor number show up, the only difference be say the motor colour differ from my own, online na my own be the real one so that dealer clone the VIN take sell he own, like this head burst o.
We don report to authorities investigation dey go on
Hopefully everywhere go good
But in all nor allow your vendor run paper for you o, if na my vendor wan run am e no for telll me say na wetin he observe be that o
Price of everything is on the high side o, this include labour... from Foundation to roofing stage (for a 4 bed room and 2 self contain) my guy has spent close to 9 million.
Here is the breakdown; foundation to DPC: this include 4 course outer block and coping/rod casting 2million filling of DPC: 46 trip of sharp sand @75000 = 3.4+ million from DPC to lintel= 2million from lintel to roofing stage = include casting of lintel, plank used for casting rod to chain the whole house, decking of varendah, kitchen etc =2million
Unknown31: you are wrong. Like I said NLNG takes new graduates every month, but the public does not know. You can ask, NLNG allocates job space to the community people and people with connection. A poor man will never ever enter NLNG with merits or competence only. Take that to the banks.
Martosky98: Wow. It's quite sad to hear that some guys are getting regret � emails. We all started this journey together. It could have been anyone. Wishing those guys who got regret emails better opportunities and all the best life has to offer. It's quite sad ooo cause if na me I go just faint.
Boss this regret mail you are talking about is it for those asked to send their result for verification?
