In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu praised the EFCC for its collaborative efforts in addressing these crimes and ensuring a coordinated response. He emphasized that “Nigeria is not a destination for stolen vehicles and a haven for illicit wealth from foreign countries.”
The President expressed concern over the role of transnational organized crime in exporting stolen vehicles to Nigeria and highlighted the importance of depriving criminals of the proceeds from their illicit activities as a key strategy for law enforcement.
Tinubu further instructed all relevant agencies, particularly anti-corruption bodies, to safeguard Nigeria’s economic and financial integrity from organized crime infiltration. He insisted on the preservation of the value of seized and confiscated assets for the benefit of the state, society, and victims, in accordance with existing laws and international conventions.
The President reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to working with international partners to ensure that cybercriminals and organized crime groups involved in transnational car theft are denied the rewards of their illegal actions. He reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to tackling money laundering, cybercrime, and other financial crimes.
