A Federal High Court in Lagos has issued a final forfeiture order for 36 luxury cars that were reportedly stolen from Canada and brought into Nigeria.
The decision was made by Justice Deinde Dipeolu following an application presented by the lawyer representing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Abdul Rasheed.
The forfeited cars include various models such as Toyota Rav, Toyota Tacoma, Lexus RX 350, FORD FI50, Honda CRV, Dodge, Land Rover, and Lexus RX 350 SUV, among others. The respondents listed in the suit include several auto companies operating in Nigeria, where the cars were allegedly found.
The EFCC lawyer, Abdulrasheed, informed the court about the agency’s motion for the final forfeiture of the cars. The vehicles were recovered from different auto shops situated in locations like Lekki-Ajah, Ojodu-Berger, Ikeja, Festac Town, Magodo, and Ikota-Lekki.
