The Lagos State Police Command has publicly addressed a situation involving a well-known Nigerian singer allegedly in possession of a stolen vintage car.
During a recent media briefing held at the command headquarters in Ikeja, Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, disclosed that the force had recovered 36 stolen vehicles traced to different states and even from abroad.
Without disclosing the identity of the artist involved, the Commissioner cautioned the musician, who reportedly purchased a red vintage vehicle, to come forward before law enforcement takes further action.
Quoting him:
“This vehicle you are seeing was stolen from abroad, and we learnt it’s worth more than N250 million. And we are still going to call you back on this because we are still recovering them.
We learnt that one prominent musician, I don’t want to mention his name, was alleged to have bought one of the vehicles. So by the time we get the celebrity arrested, we will equally bring it to the attention of the public.
So, a celebrity that knows he bought this type of vehicle in red color should, before we look for him, bring the vehicle forward so that we can commence further investigation and make sure that justice is served,” he stated.
