Following the public announcement of the incident, the police have successfully apprehended a man who had previously absconded with a Mercedes Benz worth millions of naira.

Unfortunately, trouble arose when Henry requested to test drive the car.

To the dismay of the car dealers, he swiftly accelerated and escaped with the vehicle, remaining hidden thereafter.

Approximately three days later, Mohammed reported the incident to the police.

However, there is now news that Henry, the customer-turned-thief, has been apprehended by law enforcement.

A social media user shared the update, stating, “Do you all remember this car that was stolen from Abuja during a test drive? The thief has been caught in Asaba.”
