A Nigerian man has gone public with serious allegations against a senior police officer, CSP Gerald Chidozie Udechukwu, claiming he was sold a stolen Toyota Hilux by the officer.
The accusation surfaced on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), where user @Chukwutony89 alleged that he unknowingly purchased the stolen vehicle from CSP Udechukwu. He later discovered, according to his post, that the Hilux had allegedly been stolen by police personnel.
In a statement posted online, he wrote:
“Nigerians, this policeman, CSP Gerald Chidozie Udechukwu, sold me a Hilux vehicle that was allegedly stolen by policemen. I reported this to the Force PPRO @Princemoye1 and @PoliceNG three months ago, but no action has been taken. @YarKafanchan.”

@the_onbeatable: “Two ways to do this. One, you make up your mind that anything can happen to you, so put your house in order. Then go all the way screaming out in every corner to get justice. If you perish,you perish! Two, you take your loss and run! They have marked you already. Your choice.”
@tolu_of: “As we all know … the @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU always cover up for their own … so no matter what … this man .. he ain’t facing any law .. he is the law .. except he doesn’t have mouth in the force they will publicly dismiss him … but a ranking officer, is always free.”
