According to PM News, when
interrogated, Tanko said he was aware the young men supplied him with
stolen cars but buys them because they are cheap and helped him
to maximize his profit. He said he was not a robber for purchasing from
the thieves.

No matter what he thinks, he is a facilitator, the robbers obviously stole the cars 'cause they had an outlet to sell em off quick! He is as culpable as the robbers! Nigerians are all about the good life, quick to blame corrupt leaders, but what about us?!

ReplyDeleteMany days for the thieves just one day for the owner. Most of those we worship in Nigeria as rich and wealth people are oftentimes in reality are those to be stone to death .Alhaji are supposed to be pple of honored but this one maximises his profits by liasing with the underworld to make pple cry.I just pray the law should take its full course.
