Lagos State Police Command has issued a statement regarding a prominent Nigerian musician involved in the purchase of a stolen vintage car.
Gatekeepers News reports that during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, shared that law enforcement officials have successfully recovered 36 vehicles that were reported stolen, originating from various states within Nigeria as well as from foreign countries.
While the name of the musician has not been disclosed, Commissioner Jimoh emphasised the importance of this individual coming forward voluntarily. He specifically mentioned that the celebrity, who acquired a red vintage car, should turn himself in to the authorities before further action is taken.
“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.
