Car dealer Chima Edmund alleges that the Lagos State Police Command released a suspect involved in attempting to steal a high-value Toyota Tundra pickup from his dealership. Edmund claims the suspect, posing as a potential buyer, drove off with the N130 million vehicle after crashing it into a canal in the Ajiran area. The dealer estimates the repair costs at N40 million and expresses frustration at the suspect's release on bail, despite sustaining injuries.
Police spokesperson Adebisi denies the allegations, stating the suspect was certified a psychiatric patient by government hospitals and courts, and was handed over to his mother for rehabilitation.
