Man accuses EFCC of foul play as auctioned car vanishes after payment of ₦5.57m
A Nigerian man has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC of foul play after a car he successfully purchased for N5,570,001 through their auction mysteriously vanished from their website.
The man, identified by his social media handle, @Chizytelu, expressed his frustration in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter).
According to him, he participated in an EFCC auction and won a Mercedes Benz C300 with the lot number ADC/BEN/AU/98 for N5,570,001.
However, after making payment, the car disappeared from the EFCC’s auction portal.
In his words: “I’ve just seen magic happen right before my eyes. 😅😅. A C300 with lot number ADC/BEN/AU/98 that I bid on and won at N5,570,001 just vanished from the auction site. @officialEFCC una well done. I called the auctioneer, and he straight up told me it’s out of his hands, that if I can’t find it on the website, I should contact EFCC.”
He also accused the EFCC of manipulating the auction log, claiming, “A bid I made with less than 3 minutes to 4 pm now reads 11:08 am.”
The post has since sparked reactions, with many concerned individuals flooding the comment section to share their thoughts and concerns.
