President Bola Tinubu has ordered security and law enforcement agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, and the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, to come down heavily on criminals involved in transnational car theft.
President Tinubu in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, noted that one of the most effective tools available to law enforcement agencies is depriving criminals of the proceeds from their illicit activities.
He commended EFCC on the recent handover of 53 vehicles and $180,300 to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP, on behalf of two Canadian citizens who were victims of cybercrimes perpetrated by Nigerian nationals.
The President further directed all relevant agencies, particularly the anti-corruption agencies, to protect Nigeria’s economic and financial integrity from organised crime infiltration.
