Singer Ego Ogbaro's husband loses Camry car to armed robbers
Now to my question: Why do robbers target mostly Camry cars? Every time you hear that a car was snatched in Lagos, more than half the time it's a Camry. Why?
Cos its much more easy to sell.
ReplyDeleteWhich easy? Go owode u no go know the car again the bastard go dismantle cars and sell part by part! Pls God help us in this country!!!
DeleteWhen will all these stop in Nigeria and does it mean one cannot buy a good car to dive in that country again?I pray they get there car back.Anyways thank God nothing happened to him.
ReplyDeleteLinda! na wah oo......, God forbid urs z stolen! I thank God for my friend and her husband o! omi lo danu agbe ko foh! but linda y u no dey help up coming pple! Toh, i don send u e mail since u no reply! no wahala sah!
ReplyDeleteLmao @ it worries me o!chai Linda.anyway Toyota cars r highly in demand,so its easy 2 sell dem once dey ve bin stolen n revamped.as 4u lin,y nt try n buy any of dis sleek hyundai cars,dey r luvly n robbers won't ve u on der list except dey r after smtinelse.No Fear u hear
ReplyDeleteCamry's are easy to sell off. Plus mostly they have a buyer waiting. Better sell ur Camry and get a Nissan they don't look at em 2ce!
ReplyDeleteBecause Camrys are in ridiculously high demand, same as Honda Accords, personally I won't buy any of those cars even though I was contemplating getting either of them. Changed my mind when my boss at work was killed cos of his 6week old 2010 Camry here in Lagos. Not saying you can't be robbed with any other car but chances are higher in a Camry.
ReplyDeleteNaija "na dis or dat thing dey reign" mentality makes it easy to sell off.
ReplyDeleteBecause blogs keep announcing what new car they just acquired. Thank God he is alive
ReplyDeleteShit happenz bro get over it. Even wizkid once lost his.
ReplyDeleteLinda u are sacred because you bought a Camry last year and u are scare u might be next target, God forbid but am just saying......
ReplyDeletecamry ar easy 2 sell. Nd u cnt tel urs wen u see it cos its rampant. D idea is dis, d level of insecurity is bkmin unbkmin. May God hlp us all.amin
ReplyDeletehehehhhee, becos u sef de grove camry okwaya???
ReplyDeleteu better park ur own begin buy one hyndai iio abi suzuki de drive. those ones na chinko i bet the robbers go see u hiss.
ok, toyota in general is a hotcake and easy to sell off. poeple are ready to buy a toyota brand anydy anytime cos of its features
this also happened to my brother yesterday morning while going to his office,a toyota camry with REG NO GL 875LNG gold colour 1998 model,this car was snatched at gunpoint at ilupeju around 6.45am, if u ave any useful information about its wear about,pls call 08035389905 or 08081540348
ReplyDelete"Wear about". Lol
DeleteMe too I wonder o!!
ReplyDeleteDat was how my elder sistere's camry was stolen in d church!!
Dis na old jist now.
ReplyDeletepeople are dying of hunger in africa linda,u dey talk abt camry dat can be replaced smdh
ReplyDeleteBcos Camry is very easy to sell and much on Nigeria roads. Ithk God dat He was not killed. Eddy
ReplyDeleteToyota and Honda cars are the most common in Lagos and Naija also the market demand for them is very high. Imagine going to a wedding reception with your Toyota or Honda car, you are sure to get confused cos there will be many cars of the same brand and colour there. Cars like Mercedes or Jeep brand are very different and harder to steal or blend in with the crowd.
ReplyDeleteCamry is much on our roads and can not be easily traced. Thank God he is alive.
ReplyDeleteLinda,why will u use ur car as an exemple.u wan ur car to lost?
ReplyDeleteCos enugu guys buys it,paints it to yellow and uses it as a taxi in ENUGU STATE
ReplyDeleteon point Linda! This same Camry has been snatched from my uncle twice.
ReplyDeleteMy bro was kidnapped few months after buyin a toyota camry.D kidnappers demanded d car as a ransome too.Thank God he returned safely and car is yet to be found.
ReplyDeleteLinda, camry's have a high re-sale value.
ReplyDeleteDis car robbery tin is becoming too much in Lagos! Haba! No security again! God we look to you help us! Amen
ReplyDeletelmao.... Linda are u concerned because you drive a camry too?? don't worry, you are safe in Jesus' name :)
ReplyDeleteLinda pls dont be scared...I know you have a camry but they wont see urs IJN. Lolzzz. thats cos Camry's are in high demand.
ReplyDeleteLinda, u scared bcos u drive a camry too?
ReplyDeleteLinda maybe its the name. Camry could sound like carry me. So dem dey carry am go!
ReplyDeleteCamry is in high demand no matter the model

I wonder how long it will take them to reach d top
ReplyDeleteThat was how my camry was stolen wen it broke down on d road. B4 I cud com back wit a mechanic,it has bn towed 2 God nos whr.
ReplyDeleteCamry or no Camry! Bottom-line is dat its God dat protects. Things lyk dis happen cos He allows them to happen but we hv no rite to question Him. Linda, don't be scared. All u shld do is alwaiz ask for divine protection.

ReplyDeleteLinda,when I was in Nigeria that robbery happened right in front of me,it was around 10 pm at gowon estate 5th avenue,the robbers hit his back bumper,and came down to like say sorry for hitting him,next thing we saw he was dragging with them,and one of them shot him on the buttocks,they left the car they where and left with his camry,I swear I didn't drive for three days after I saw that scene.
