“Be like Nonso! Nonso (not real name) is a car dealer. One day, Galadima Adamu and Abubakar Lawal brought a Toyota Highlander to Nonso, offering to sell it for N3 million.

“Nonso called the number on the vehicle documents for confirmation, which led to the discovery that the men are the driver and security guard of the owner of the vehicle. They had indeed stolen the car some days earlier.

“Vehicle has been recovered, suspects in custody and prosecution follows. Nonso is a smart man. Be like Nonso!”
