President Bola Tinubu has ordered security and law enforcement agencies to intensify their crackdown on cybercriminals and transnational car theft rings operating in the country.



He directed agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria Police Force (NPF), and Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), to target individuals involved in the possession and trafficking of stolen vehicles.



The President in a statement issued on Sunday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, emphasised that depriving criminals of the proceeds from their illicit activities is a powerful tool in combating organized crime.



He commended the EFCC for returning 53 vehicles and $180,300 to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on behalf of two Canadian victims of cybercrime involving Nigerian nationals.



Expressing concern over transnational crime groups exporting stolen vehicles to Nigeria, President Tinubu lauded the collaboration between Nigerian authorities and international partners in addressing the issue.



He also stressed the importance of preserving seized assets for the benefit of the state, victims, and society in line with legal frameworks and global conventions.



The president reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to combatting cybercrime, money laundering, and other financial crimes, stating that the country would not be a destination for stolen vehicles or illicit wealth.

Good one if you ask me, This is long over due

The Real Criminals are the ones who loot the Treasury of Nigeria under the Guise of Subsidy and Inflated Contracts and Luxurious Salaries & Allowances. They are the ones Destroying the Country making millions dwell in Abject Poverty & Deprivations.

Including those mofos that steal brain box, car tapes, etc. Car & car accessories theft is too much.

When are you directing NNPC and Electric Unit to reduce their prices before you use tax kill your citizens

When family no good,papa na thief and mama na night workers,wetin you expect?

Hope these bodies don't start harrasing even innocent car dealers too.
Car dealers be careful out there when shipping cars o.

Ok nice one

Ahhhhh, the likes of helinues, madridguy, LeoDeKing, FreeStuffsNG, pandoraObi, LegendHero source of livelihood is been threatened.

Politicians with illicit wealth should also be punished. Thank you Mr. President

Story

this man Mumu sha. kai i have never seen such a stupid and clueless person in my entire life forget presidency the man has some mental problem.

just tell me is this directive not going to cause more problem for the average Nigerian? these bodies he order to carry out these instructions will end up harrasing and extorting innocent citizen. and more over he should have used same energy to order instant death penalty to kidnappers , bandits Fulani herdsmen. ritualist and arm robbers in the country and see how crime will gradually reduce. he left the most important things and be fooling around . this man has gone kolos i swear , it seems he doesn't have adviser or the cocaine obstruct his thinking

This is a very serious criminal enterprise. I am glad that Mr President has directed the relevant agencies to go after them.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!

So they need to wait for order before cracking down

3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption
