A couple was among the suspects.
The Nigeria Police Force has arrested eight suspected carjackers in Abuja and recovered three stolen vehicles from them.
In a statement on Tuesday, the command spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said a husband and his wife are among those arrested for the crime.
According to the command, the wife confessed buying master keys from Jumia with the aim of using them to steal cars.
Mrs Adeh said, “The FCT Police Command has arrested eight suspects and recovered three stolen vehicles in separate operations across Abuja and beyond.
“Among those arrested are a husband-and-wife duo, the wife confessed to purchasing master keys from an online marketplace (Jumia) to facilitate their car theft operations,” she added.
Mrs Adeh also stated that five other suspects were arrested for stealing their employer’s vehicle in Lagos, while another suspect was nabbed for stealing a vehicle he was asked to deliver to Abuja.
“Also apprehended were a five-man syndicate who stole a Mercedes-Benz from their employer in Lagos, and a lone suspect who absconded with a vehicle he was assigned to deliver to Abuja. All suspects are currently in custody and will be charged to court,” she stated.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Ajao Adewale, urged residents to install tracking devices in their vehicles, park in secure locations, and verify vehicle ownership before making purchases.
