NDLEA Warns Public Against Fake Vehicle Auction Scams

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned the public to disregard fraudulent offers related to the auction of forfeited vehicles. In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by Femi Babafemi, the agency's Director of Media and Advocacy, it was revealed that criminals are impersonating senior officials, particularly Shadrach Haruna, to circulate fake letters and messages offering vehicles at low prices.

Babafemi described these offers as complete scams designed to defraud unsuspecting individuals of their hard-earned money. He emphasized that the NDLEA does not authorize any private sales of forfeited vehicle assets, which are disposed of through a transparent public auction process.

This process is conducted by duly appointed government registrars and advertised in national newspapers. Babafemi urged the public to ignore any private letters, text messages, or social media posts claiming to originate from NDLEA officials regarding the sale of forfeited vehicle assets.

He reaffirmed the agency's commitment to transparency and integrity in its operations and advised anyone approached with fraudulent offers to report the matter to the nearest NDLEA command.
