Police in Warri, Delta State, have arrested a man accused of attempting to steal a Mercedes-Benz GLE 43 AMG from a car dealership. According to the report, he had visited the dealership a day earlier to negotiate the price but made no payment. He allegedly returned the next day and told staff that he had paid ₦70 million, after which he was issued a receipt. The dealership owner reportedly noticed the vehicle being driven out without approval and ordered security personnel to shut the gate. Police were called, and the suspect was taken into custody. The claim that he used juju to deceive staff remains an allegation pending investigation.

The report says he visited the dealership the previous day, which makes the sequence worth examining carefully alongside the allegation.

Maybe, but one earlier visit alone does not automatically settle what happened. The allegation still needs proper scrutiny.

An arrest is not the same as proof of theft, so it is better not to treat the accusation as a concluded case.

Dealerships should document negotiations, verify interested buyers, and keep clear handover procedures before anyone accesses a vehicle.
