Doing business in Nigeria comes with serious risks and after this phase of my life, i don't think i can trust doing business with any Nigerian. I gave a brand new Honda Accord to a car dealer from hell to sell for me last year, i witheld the original car papers and left Naija handing the deal to my friend's dad.

After some months, i was called by my friend's dad saying the car dealer has sold the car without the original documents, we call the car dealer and ask for our money and he gave us a cheque which bounced, he gave us 5 more that also bounced, he keeps playing hide and seek. I am really tired of this, yet this man claims he is a man of God, a man of God that scams people!!!

Please people, can you advice what action to take? He hardly goes to his office, we can't seem to track him down or his house, we arrested him some months back but he bribed the police and they let him go without even collecting his house address!!! Please advice me people.

I hate to tell you, you might be out of luck. Only EFCC can handle him at this point. You really have to stay on his neck. Get him arrested in public view. May be at the family's event or something. Withholding original papers wont prevent a car from being sold.

I hate to get personal, but i haven't even read anywhere that you entrusted the car to you Mom/Dad (but your friend's dad?)

EFCC is the solution at this point. Be ready to go home and not come back until you solve the issue. Cos you cant handle this type of deal from far away. Sorry to hear.

Good luck.

@ Kunle - A, my friend's dad actually owns the car but wasn't in Nigeria when it was sold so i acted on his behalf until he returned. I do know i need to go down to Naija if i really want to sort this issue out as soon as possible. The next time one stupid baggar tells me he is a man of God i will slap him.

Regardless of how it goes, you need an extraction team. Find that sucker wherever he is and deal with him. It wont be pretty, but has to be done. I might suggest that you actually get army to arrest him and deal with him with EFCC join together. His family will cough up the money sharp sharp.

I think you are reading my mind kunle, i want to get him arrested via Army officers, if i don't get him i will arrest his family, i will post adverts of him as a wanted man in newspapers, i will smoke him out and i won't stop until i recover every penny.

Not only that, make sure he pays for the cost of the soldiers too. He need to pay times over. Good luck.

Thanks kunle. is there some possibility i get the address of where he lives from his bank the CAC etc?

knowing his address is pointless. You have to get someone to trail him and sieze him.
