NGThis article discusses the arrest of two individuals, Uba Chigozie and Emeka Emordi, who were involved in a vehicle-vandalism syndicate operating in Lagos, Nigeria. Both men came from different backgrounds but shared economic hardship and connections to the auto-parts market in Ladipo, Mushin. According to police reports, the group targeted specific Toyota models such as the Corolla, Sienna, and Hilux, focusing on stealing components like brain boxes, push-button starters, and air conditioning vents. The group reportedly operated quickly, dismantling vehicles in as little as 10 minutes and earning up to N100,000 per operation. Chigozie described how his involvement in the group began due to personal financial difficulties after his shop was destroyed by the government, leading him to join the gang through a connection at the spare-parts market.
