I'm just imagining losing my phone today.

Then I go to report the case to the police, only to discover they can actually track it and recover my phone... but it'll take 5 years.

I go first weak. 😩

But it's good, though, that her car was eventually found.

Better late than never.

The police should please recover my Dunlop slippers that was stolen in 1994 when I went to watch Nigeria vs Argentina in USA 94 world cup in my neighbor's house. I had to go back home barefooted.

I will really appreciate it if they can locate the slippers for me because it means a lot to me. Thanks in advance.
Just report your case to the right authority.

In 5 years time you will get it.

All of una wey dey praise the Nigerian police for this kain police work, shey una go praise them when your car is stolen and enjoyed for five years before it's returned to you.

Wonderful police work right there; that a stolen vehicle is transported successfully out of the country, and then imported back into the country, driven inter-State several times, all without the theft being discovered.

It's only after an unfortunate, unsuspecting customer went to the road safety office to register the car did that flag the discrepancy. The thieves themselves are still not caught. Kudos to the police. What an excellent job.

My only happiness on seeing this is that the car still looks neat after all these years. That woman will at least be glad to have a car she's written off back in her possession.

For my peace of mind I just sold the Camry in 2012 and went for a Jeep Grand Cherokee make I dey fit sleep well cool

How many bribes were collected for this car to travel in and out of Nigeria and be driven severally inter-state without being intercepted? Your guess is as good as mine.
IamPatriotic:
Thank God it was recovered and eventually handed back to the owner.
Kudos to the Gombe State Internal Revenue Service Vehicle Licensing Office. They made the recovery happen and, more importantly, special commendation to them for not looking away or collecting a bribe after they discovered the discrepancies.
It is also worth noting that the woman tried. Her testimony will be pleasant to hear.

Forgive me. I just don't trust these police rogues.

What they did was noble but out of experience, there is always an angle for a police.

Re: Police Hand Over Recovered Vehicle To Owner 5 Years After Theft by Kalulu44: 7:38pm On Jul 26
And nobody is asking who is the person that's trying to re-registered the car. Was arrested or not? Or the car went by itself to register?
