The Osun State Police Command has arrested a 26 year old suspect, Abdulazeez Ibrahim, who reportedly paid ₦2,650 to a dealership to buy a Toyota Camry sedan valued at ₦2,650,000.

Abdulazeez, who claimed that he owned a motorcycle and a small Mazda car but needed to get a bigger car, said :
“I owned a motorcycle and a small Mazda car. But on a Friday last month, I left Iwo for Osogbo on the motorcycle to get a bigger car. I got to a dealer and negotiated Toyota Camry car, we agreed on ₦2,650,000 but I transferred ₦2,650 to his account.
“He gave me the car documents and left. I drove it straight to Iwo and later came back to Osogbo to pick my motorcycle.
“I did not use any charm to buy the car, it was just luck. I just summoned the courage to transfer the money to him and he handed over the car. I drove the car to the printer in Iwo to repaint it to another colour after a little bodywork on the rear bumper. And I was arrested by police before the painter completed his job”, he said.
