🚨 IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR ANYONE BUYING A TOKUNBO / FRESHLY IMPORTED CAR IN NIGERIA 🚨
The moment you buy or clear a car, especially a freshly imported one, search that vehicle immediately before driving around.
Check:
✔️ Under the seats
✔️ Glove compartment
✔️ Trunk/boot
✔️ Side pockets
✔️ Hidden compartments
✔️ Spare tire area
You don’t truly know what the previous owner, shipping agent, auction handler, or transporter may have left inside.
⚠️ If anything illegal like a gun, drugs, or suspicious item is found by police, explaining “I didn’t know” may not save you immediately. In Nigeria, you may first face serious stress before investigations begin.
Some officers may treat you like a suspect first before hearing your story.
👉 Be wise.
👉 Protect yourself.
👉 Search your car thoroughly before using it.
“Better to spend 10 minutes checking than spend months explaining.”
