A business consultant, Oluwatimilehin Oluwasanmi, known as @Timmyisagod on X, has come forward with allegations of fraud against a car dealer, Gbenga Oriyomi Adedara.
Timmyisagod claimed to have paid approximately 12 million Naira to GBENGA for the purchase of a Mercedes ML 350, a deal that turned into a nightmare with accusations of unauthorized sale and unpaid dues.

According to the post, the transaction occurred last year when he entrusted Adedara to import the luxury vehicle from the USA to Nigeria. However, upon arrival in Nigeria, the car faced unforeseen setbacks, leading to a series of complications.
Shockingly, Timmyisagod alleged that Adedara sold the car without his knowledge and only remitted N5.5 million, leaving a significant outstanding amount of approximately N6 million.
Timmyisagod is seeking public assistance in locating GBENGA, as his attempts to reach the car dealer have proven futile.
The situation has escalated to the involvement of the Nigerian police, who, according to Timmyisagod, have requested one million naira to initiate the process of tracking the accused down.
“Sometimes last year I paid Adedara Oriyomi’s GBENGA a total of about 12 million for the purchase of a Mercedes ML 350 which he was to import from the USA to Nigeria , had some setbacks when the car got to Nigeria and he sold the car without my knowledge and sent me about 5.5 million , still owing me about 6 million and ever since then he has been giving me story upon story, I got to know him through a friend and he was a business client so there was a level of trust, he has ghosted me since then and all efforts to reach him has proven futile, if anyone knows his whereabouts or knows how he can be reached , please reach out to me.
“Nigerian police said I should bring 1m to track him, he resides in Abuja , but last known location is Lagos,” he wrote.
