How the Sells of the Stolen Items Started
A trader in the market revealed that the police officers first brought the stolen items for sale in 2016, according to the trader;
“A mobile police sergeant came to Tipper Garage market and brought some items for sale. He approached one of the wholesalers to buy them, but the trader said he does not buy items from an unconfirmed owner.
“He identified himself as Sergeant Musa and told the trader that he was one of the security men guarding Mr. Jonathan’s private residence at Gwarimpa. He took the trader to follow him to confirm that he was not a thief who had come to sell off stolen properties in the market.
“The trader followed him to the residence where he met two other policemen, an inspector and a sergeant. They convinced him that the items were part of gifts to them.
“At a point, the trader became scared when he suspected foul play and told Sergeant Musa that he was no longer interested in the transaction.”
A reporter from Premium Time visited the market to interview one of the trader and according to the trader, he said;
“The policeman sold one to the wholesaler who is now on the run at N50, 000.00. The wholesaler sold it at N180,000.00 to a lucky buyer in the market who in turn instantly sold it at N390,000.00.
