Good afternoon nairalanders,
Please I need your help and clarifications on a Nigerian used car I purchased last month.

So today, while on my way to FRSC office to do capturing for drivers license, I was stopped by police officials and was asked my driver’s licence and car papers.

So I showed them the permit I was given at FRSC office and the car papers of the seller that will expire next year May. And I also showed them the purchase receipt and change of ownership that me and the seller both signed including the witness.


So the police officials now said I should have done court affidavit and police report. After much delay they collected 10k from me.

Now the thing is that this is my first time, and the seller assured me that nothing will happen to me till I change the paper next year.

I need help, how do I process these permits so I don’t experience all this from police again till I change the papers to my name
