VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

A car dealer, Mohammed Manga, has been thrown into confusion after a customer, one Henry, absconded with one of his cars, a Mercedes Benz GLB 250 in the Abuja area of the Federal Capital Territory.

It was gathered that a yet-to-be-identified friend who is also into the business of selling cars visited his office in Abuja requesting to take the vehicle worth over N55m to a potential customer interested in purchasing it.

After taking the vehicle to the customer who introduced himself as Henry, Manga said his friend told him that after negotiations, Henry requested a test drive and was accompanied by his friend.

Manga said his friend was with Henry while he was test-driving the vehicle, adding that things took another turn when his friend informed Henry that he wanted to withdraw money from a Point of Sale operator to purchase fuel for the vehicle at a filling station.

He explained that when his friend stepped out of the vehicle to make the withdrawal, Henry zoomed off with the vehicle to an unknown destination.

Manga said he reported that case to the Anti-Car Theft Unit of the command, adding that the stolen car is grey, with a mileage of 19000.

Contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Ameh, said,

“The police are tracking the suspect (Henry).”
