FCT Police Confirms Recovery Of Stolen N55m Benz

The stolen vehicle

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has confirmed that the N55 million Mercedes Benz GLB 250 which was stolen by a buyer, has been recovered.

TORI earlier reported how a car dealer, Mohammed Manga raised the alarm that a suspect identified simply as Henry, who disguised as a customer, absconded with the vehicle while testing it in the FCT.

Mohammed said one of his friends who is also a car dealer took the Mercedes Benz to a prospective buyer (Henry) for sale but trouble started when Henry begged to test-run the car after the price was settled at N55 million.

He, however, zoomed off with the car and has not been found since.

The FCT command subsequently declared Henry wanted.

The command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh on Wednesday night stated that the car has been recovered in Delta State.

According to her, the recovery of the stolen vehicle by the Delta State Command “is an indication of the collaborative efforts of the Police across board”.

“The FCT Command had earlier initiated a discrete investigation into the incident, and alerted other Commands which led to the recovery of the vehicle”, she added.
