A top Customs source, who confirmed Abdullahi as the former FCT Minister’s son, said investigations are ongoing to unravel whether there were other vehicles in his custody that either underpaid or evaded duty payment.
“The man claims to be former minister’s son. He was arrested on Friday. But has been released on bail since it’s a bailable offence. The investigation is ongoing at least to know how he was able to get away with paying just over N300,000. Our Officer in Charge of the Legal department says the duty should be about N124 million”, Mr. Ejesieme stated.
Findings also show the vehicle costs about $280,000 (N83.4 million at current exchange rate of N298/dollar) in the US.
The MaClaren 650S Coupé starts at USD $265,500 and USD $280,225 for the 650S Spider in the US, while in Canada, pricing is CAD $287,000 and CAD $305,500 respectively.
