A Nigerian man is seeking justice after discovering that his car, which was stolen near his church, is being used by the police as a patrol vehicle.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man recounted his ordeal, which began in 2015 when he parked his car outside the church for a service.
Upon returning after the program, he found that his car was missing.
He immediately reported the theft to the police, who requested the vehicle’s papers.
However, two years later, in 2017, he was shocked to spot his car being used by police officers as a patrol vehicle.
In his statement, the man said, “I’m a citizen of Nigeria, I live in Warri, Delta State. The picture in my hand is of my car. I went to a church program in 2015, and when the program ended, I came out to find that my car was gone.”
“I searched for it but couldn’t find it, so I reported the theft to the police. They asked me to bring the vehicle papers. Two years later, in 2017, I saw the same car with the police officers, who had converted it into a patrol vehicle.”
The man’s post also includes a video with further details of his experience.
