Lagos police call out ‘prominent musician’ for buying stolen vintage car

The Lagos State Police Command has called out a prominent Nigerian musician for buying a stolen vintage car.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, made the revelation to newsmen during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.

He stated that the command has recovered 36 vehicles stolen from different states in Nigeria and from foreign countries.

While withholding the singer’s name, the commissioner urged the celebrity who bought a red vintage car to turn himself in before the force goes after 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.
