President Buhari at Work... Bulletproof Range Rover Car Fraudulently Acquired By Senate Saraki rots Away At Customs Yard In Lagos for Fake car documents allegedly.
The Nigeria Customs service reportedly seized a bulletproof Range Rover Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) owned by Senate President Bukola Saraki over fake documents
Sahara Reporters reports that Nigerian Customs officers intercepted when found the Range Rover SUV carried documents evidencing that the full duty has not been paid
The value of the car was N298 million, and the customs duty of N74 million should have been paid on the car.
but when asked to show evidence of duty payment and an end-user certificate from the office of the National Security Adviser—a document required for bulletproof vehicles—the driver presented documents that were found to be fake. The allegedly fake documents provided by the driver reportedly indicated that N8 million custom fee was paid instead of the N74 million legally required.
Customs officials said that apart from the fact the customs duty was extremely low, they also determined that the presented document itself was fake and so the vehicle was seized. Investigations reportedly done by Sahara Reporters showed that the documents used by Saraki and the National Assembly to clear the car impounded by the Nigerian Customs did not belong to the vehicle.
Also, there were allegations by the investigators that Senator Saraki and the National Assembly apparently undervalued the car by more than 50% to enable them to avoid paying proper customs duty.
