I think the lesson here is let the buyers beware! A buyer of stolen vehicle is worse than the thief because if there is no market there is no product! When i shipped my car to Nigeria from US, those local mechanic friends told me to write my number on all the glass parts, i initially considered that old fashioned and disfiguring the car but when they gave me instances where that has prevented a car being attractive to car thieves. Do you know the number of times car thieves have visited your parked car and ignored it just because your glass has your number inscrbed on it, at least its easier to pick a car that wont give them that stress of changing glass parts. I went to Ladipo car parts market, people wont buy as simple as wheel cover with numbers inscribed on them. Also let buyers beware of vehicles that dont have evidence of shipment from anywhere even though they are unregistered. When a car has too sweet a bargain it should raise your investigative sense., remember ignorance of the law isnt an excuse so save yourself from police embarrassment, be diligent and take due care when buying that sweet car. May we never suffer consequences of crime we know nothing of but let the buyers BEWARE!!!

Confession of suspected receiver of stolen cars – Custom officer sold the vehicles to me.

Last week, men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command arrested a suspected receiver of stolen cars, recovering nine vehicles in the suspect’s Lape phase II, abode in Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos.
The suspect, Israel Ubatuegwu was reportedly arrested in his attempt to drive a suspected stolen Toyota Corolla, parked in a hideout, when SARS men led by the officer-in-charge, Mr Abba Kyari, swopped on him.
The suspect shocked detectives when he claimed that one Festus fooled him after he allowed him(Festus) use his compound as garage where the vehicles were kept. He also denied ever taking part in any of the robbery operations.
Few days later, his confessional statement led to the arrest of another suspected member of the gang in whose custody, twelve exotic Toyota Camry cars were recovered. On inspection, operatives of SARS discovered that the recovered vehicles had been tampered with. For instance, most of the chassis numbers usually found close to the car steering were discovered to have been removed. Also the chassis numbers were discovered not to tally with the original plate numbers issued on receipt.
To the astonishment of the policemen, it was also discovered that all the recovered vehicles were registered in the suspect’s name. Again, the vehicles were discovered to have been sprayed with colours different from their original ones, apparently to prevent their owners from identifying them.
However, in this interview with Crime Alert, the 43-year-old suspect, Mr Bolaji Owolabi, like the first suspect, Israel, denied culpability in the robbery, claiming he bought the vehicles from the same man Israel earlier mentioned in his confessional statement. He also revealed that the man they alleged sold the cars to them is a Custom officer.
According to the second suspect who hails from Ogun state, “ I met Festus two years ago and in the course of our discussion, he told me he was a Custom officer and was in-charge of auctioning cars. That was how I started buying the cars from him since 2009”. But asked why the cars were all Totoya Corolla product, he replied, “ that is what my customers like. He usually sold them to me for N850,000 or N900,000 and I resell for N1 million or N1.2million. I have no shop. What I do is that whenever any customer wanted a car, I would contact the custom officer who will bring the vehicles to me. He never allowed me buy any of the cars on credit, saying his Comptroller frowned at that”.
Asked whether he never at any point suspected the cars were stolen, he responded, “ It was just this year that I noticed that the number engraved in one of the cars was different from that on the plate. And when I asked, he told me it was a mistake. I also noticed that they usually sprayed all the cars and when I asked again, he said it was because they were for auctioning and that since it was being sold to members of the public , it was necessary to change the colours.
If I knew they were stolen, I would not have sold them to people close to me. It was until I was arrested that I got to know the cars were stolen. I swear to God the cars were sold to me by a Custom officer”. He could not, however, state the rank of Festus, the alleged custom officer nor his office saying “ he simply told me his office was in Ikeja and he usually brought the vehicles himself”.
Plate numbers of vehicles recovered from him, are; FB 695 LSR, BT 207 EPE<BP 657 EPE, BT 244 BDG, BU 884 EPE, BR 911 EPE, BU 256 EPE, FS 443 LND, BG 169, EL 272 GGE, BU 245 EPE, FB 735 KRD and MR 595 AAA.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Samuel Jinadu who paraded the suspect before newsmen, explained that most of the cars were usually snatched from where they were parked. The robbers, he said, would break the small glass by the driver’s side, from where they would open the cars and tamper with the ignition before driving them away. He said efforts were still on to arrest Festus, the suspected custom officer, and advised members of the public whose Toyota Corolla vehicles were snatched between 2009 and now, to contact the Officer-In-Charge of SARS, to identify their vehicles, with proof of ownership.

I am interested, a friend needs one. Your number aint going. call 08028189971

Some of us warned against electing a feckless president but so many thought it was the right way to go, GHANA's turnaround was laid on foundation of coup, most turnarounds were based on a revolution, any southerner that condems coup plotting but supports the carrying of arms by the militant is a bloody hypocrite. Why blame the military when we have all been brothers in arms? OPC, Bakassi boys, Boko Haram, Niger militants are all coup plotters and brothers in arm regardless of motives, there would always be a motive and excuse for any action!!!!!!

Nigeria's main problem is pervasive corruption, for an individual to be responsible for N10 Billion is pure diabolical, when millions are wallowing in abject and vicious poverty!!! Quote me " Nigeria would never move forward if people continue to make decisions based on tribal sentiments and not objectivity". Do you ever wonder why China is the 2nd world biggest economy? Do you also know China has stiffest criminal codes/penalty in the world? A financial misappropriation in a public office in China's People's court carries a Death Penalty. Judging by the last election i changed my mind about our corruption problem; i have now concluded that the only problem Nigeria has is "NIGERIANS"

MRbrownJAY:
bro, if these houses are in Spain then why did you write "best of NIGERIAN homes"?
i saw the first pic and nearly celebrated, only to realize that its a Spanish house.

i would certainly like to see 9ja BEST!!!!!

You took that right of my house, we wanna see what the topic indicates -Naija house!!!

Lets not complain guys, Nigeria is running on luck and if we are lucky enough Nigeria would still exist by 2015!!!!!!!!

Good topic!!!! List of Dubious stations are 1, Mobil Station, 2, Mobil Station, 3, Mobil Station, in fact avoid all Mobil station and i can say it to the face of their CEO with hard evidences!!!!!!! they are criminals!!!!!!! Capital Oil is a good station, the one along Lagos-Berger-Ibadan expressway near Otedola Estate. Also avoid being distracted when buying fuel, all sorts of gimmicks are used, lubricants sales, casual talks, girls unusual smiles, weird jokes etc.

Concept:
I do not see anything GOOD in Goodluck, he is nervous, no confidence such character cannot lead a state like Nigeria of people with smart ideas who mostly channel them to crook ways. Everything he has done before the election is graft in cash and kind, even if a madman comes to pledge his loyalty, he will surely go with "egunje" Nigeria has been customized with corrupt practises and the mentality has been passed to the unborn, you are infected so am I. Most Nigerians do not know how to live a normal life without cutting corners; something must surely come besides salary, let me tell you, the root of all our problem in Nigeria is corruption. Corruption encourages laziness, lackadaisical attitude to work because the mind is set to have a reward at the end of a duty, legal or illegal.

There is no way things can work like this. If we can wrestle the society from the grip of this syndrome called corruption. PHCN will work, Refineries will work smoothly and importation of petroleum products will cease, credible candidates will emerge after elections, unemployment will reduce, those companies closing down will flourish; they die because their board members are corrupt and so on,

How do we achieve this? We need a BETTER THIEF because a day healing is not enough for a madman, there will still be exhibition of some traits sometimes. Mr. Fashola and Buhari/Bakare are good examples. They have administrative skills and discipline respectively. GEJ and his wife;Dame have sometimes been linked to EFCC harrassement, the reason they still walk around tall is the goodluck syndrome, we all know the story. The society is being characterised with corruption as a normal way of life and it is this society that produces the expected leader however starting like this will help us until we get to people that can lead and have zero tolerance for corruption.

Mr. Goodluck does not have these qualities and the antidote to the corruption's venom, he does not have(clueless). If BB were voted in, I am sure by now many of our flamboyant politicians including GEJ would have sought for asylum in another country, that is when you can see how the real EFCC can bite. I see him as the first Nigeria president ever that is not pragmatic, he always sees it the way he sees others seeing it. Mr. President should act like a man with authority.

Nevertheless, Nigerians have decided to put themselves in SELF SLAVERY for another 4 years. Logically, I do not see why the GEJ of a man is voted in; a man who depleted the inherited foreign reserves his predecessor has built over the years within the few months the baton of presidency was passed to him. I heard a gallon of kerosene now sells for N1,500. What is the hope of a common man. Where is our value. I want Nigeria to boil, some of these leaders have to go. Corruption has to be tamed now, I say now or else Nigeria is doomed. Please leave me with my opinion in case it does not align with yours, another 4 years is ahead of us, after that I can take your insults. My prophesy is live on transmission please do not dial/tune the channel, more are to coming your way. GEJ lovers U never see anything. Under the supervision of these man, they will milk Nigeria dry.

good one my man, Nigerians deserves whatever they get now, they said after the election "Nigerians have spoken, they have chosen their leader - GEJ", now let nobody complain cos we chose our destiny. As you have predicted "more are to coming your way. GEJ lovers U never see anything. Under the supervision of these man, they will milk Nigeria dry", its only those who mask the truth that would not know this. The man didnt achieve anything as a deputy, governor, vice president, trial president so what magic does he want to perform now? its simple arithmetic law, geometric progression and interpolation.

@ Seun (Nairaland),

I remember you were one of the "Fresh Air" advocates, its a pity you would rather cover up now than admit Jonathan's glaring and usual "fecklessness", even your current stance still doesnt show objectivity which is part of your contribution to Nigeria's problems.

Nairaland has the potentials of Facebook but the only set back is the Nigerian factor!!!!! a simple example is you run your operation on 24 hrs standby generator which would definitelty errode the revenue you could have used for expansion, the PHCN albatross!!! If Mark Zukerberg was a Nigerian he would have ended up an ordinary cyber cafe owner or a yahoo boy!!!!!. Lets all add 4 years to our age now and tell me whether Nigerians can afford to do trial by error every 4 years!!!!! BBC says average life in Nigeria is 45 - 55, even if you live to bibilical 70 and beyond; 4 years is a substantial part of your life. For christ sake lets leave this our politcal hypocrisy and fight for the future of our unborn children!!!!! Goodluck to me, Goodluck to you, Goodluck to everybody, Goodluck Nigeriaaaaa ehhhhh!!!!

Whatyou kidding? is this a proposal?

I can't kill a chicken because i find killing anything with blood repulsive ( except for mosquitoes). i come as regualr as any man can be !!!! No big deal!!!!

Yes so far she doesnt turn me into one by force!!!!!

architect

ye of canal mind, the spirit choose for them !!!!!!

Dear Poster,

I work in a communication company (Yhello), i am a regional accountant, when i saw the desperation of your first post i was already calling a colleague but as i went through the rest of your replies i changed my mind.

1, Your communication skills are bad.(writing; expression and mechanical, diplomacy, interpersonal)
2, Your attitude must be terrible too.

You are the main cause of your unemployment, if i were you, delete this topic and start again or else nobody would offer you a job here!!!!!

Pls spread the news to those who may need it.

All these rambling happen only in the pages of newspaper, its a simple case of law of demand and supply, richer prospective tenants would outdo themselves to outpay their competitor since the houses available are limited!!!! would govt fault a private agreement between two people? Instead of enacting feckless laws they should build low cost houses to accommodate the growing populace!!!naturally prices for private houses would go done!

I got the BB update!!!!! Nigerians and spread of rumour!!!!!!!! its a total hogwash!!!!!

bloody b*a*s*t*a*r*d !!!!!!!!!! he deserves to die by hanging!!!!

You have been slack in your responsibilty, his father walking out on you is not an excuse!!! what if you are a widow? well, lets not cry over spilt milk. They say "spare the rod and spoil the kid". Take him to remand home for the boys, they would knock some sense into him. if you kill yourself the boy would continue to enjoy his life or worse he might even change and you would have died for nothing. Teenage years are the most difficult period in a childs life, manage it well!

Trouble sleep for ground yanga go wake am, wetin him dey find eeeeeehhh,

Our African sentiments are the cause of our woes, it is not a crime to be financially handicapped but it would be a crime to drag another human being and an innocent child into your problems. Who says you are too old at 33? even if you are old is it by force? You better manage your life well or your next generation would enter same problem you are in now!!!!!!

I wonder why people complain about a union when they werent forced into it, even marriage has divorce as an option!!!!!! we blacks and our sentiments!!!

I know about this kind of whirl wind romance, i pray it doesnt follow the usual course. She is too young and immatured but there is nothing you can do about it. I hope your family is not agreeing to this cos of money? a girl at 19 should still be in her early tertiary education and so dependent, she is probably infatuated and not in love, when responsibilty of marriage dawns on her she would run back but by then it would be very late.

"Caveat Emptor"

I feel your sincerity my friend and i know what it feels cos i lost my dad when young too but my mother filled the space. I hope you would get someone soon. Adoption is not so common in nigeria especially for adults, also becareful of intended exploitation from your would be father. wish you luck.
