In early July 2025, Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed, who claims to be a DSS officer and vehicle importer living or managing at Riverpark Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, told me he has a black Toyota Venza 2010 for sale. Before he told me about the Toyota Venza, which he sent me the auction pictures, prices, dock receipt and other details, I had been searching for a Nigerian-used Toyota Venza for a client for about 2 weeks, which was made known to him. Attached is his image
and his known phone numbers are +2348033553713, +2349112689750, and +2348174937271.
We eventually saw each other in the evening of July 11th in Abuja and still chatted on WhatsApp in the afternoon of July 12th. During that time, we discussed the Toyota Venza and he said he would sell his own to us. In the early hours of July 12th, my client said we should rather help him buy the Toyota Venza from abroad. In the evening of the same July 12th, 2025, Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed called to remind me of the Toyota Venza he wants to sell, and that prompted me to call my client and inform him of the offer we got from the importer, and he said we should proceed.
I then continued chatting with Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed on WhatsApp, the same evening of July 12th, 2025, and he quoted the price of the car, the cost of trucking the car to the port in the USA, the cost of shipping it to Nigeria and other fees. He promised that the black toyota venza 2010 is already at the port in the USA evidenced from the dock receipt he sent and that it will be in Lagos mid or late August 2025 when I told him that my son and I will be going to Lagos early August to wait for the car, clear and fix it before delivering it to the client in Ibadan and come back to Abuja in early September for my son to resume school. Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed presented his Guaranty Trust Bank account number and agreed naira equivalent was paid into it in the same evening of July 12th, 2025 which he acknowledged.
After like 2 weeks of paying him for the car, I started asking him for the tracking of the car as the client from whom I bought the car was also asking me for it but he kept on telling stories and posting me while still assuring me that the car is coming mid or late August 2025 as he had promised. In the early morning of August 19th, 2025, when something was telling me that the car had arrived in Nigeria, I called him asking about the car, and he told me that it was yet to arrive, even though I felt kind of disrespected and deceived by the way he responded to me.
In the early morning of August 23rd, 2025, I decided to use the VIN or Chassis number of the black Toyota Venza to search for its location. I eventually got to Sallaum's official website and keyed in the VIN into their tracking page and voila, I saw that the car came out of the ship in Nigeria in the early morning of August 19th, 2025. I sent the result to Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed on WhatsApp and also called him on a normal call. He wasn't online on WhatsApp to read my message and didn't pick up my call, but he called me back after a few minutes. Immediately I picked up, I asked him where the car is and he started telling stories and at the end said the car is still in the USA. I then told him that the car had been out of the ship in Nigeria since August 19th and that he should check his WhatsApp for evidence. He called me back after a few minutes, stammering while also blabbing, but he eventually said he would get back to me on Monday, the 25th of August 2025.
He didn't call not to talk of chat me on Monday that he promised but I called him in the morning of Tuesday, 26th of August 2025 and he agreed that the car is already in Nigeria. He then promised to send me the necessary documents by the evening of that day to enable me to start clearing the car, and that he would bear the demurrage the car must have incurred. I didn't receive any document from him since then and he stopped picking up my calls nor replying to my WhatsApp chats. While being suspicious of foul play, I decided to investigate the customs clearing status of the car only to find out that someone had started the customs clearing of the car since August 20th, 2025. The customs clearing was later confirmed to have been completed on the 21st of August, but the car couldn't leave the terminal possibly due to the fact that the telex is not available because they are yet to pay the company that shipped the car to Nigeria.
Since the morning of August 26th, when I called him and he promised to send me the documents for the Toyota Venza so I could start clearing it, he stopped communicating with me. He completely ghosted me for several days by not chatting or calling me. He also didn't respond to my WhatsApp chats not to mention picking up my WhatsApp or normal line calls.
I then quickly went to the Fivestar logistics terminal, where Sallaum offloads their cars to locate the car. I located the car and reported the issue to them, and they took the necessary steps. After some days that I saw that he still ghosted me and the intelligence I put in place hinted to me that they were trying to bribe their way out to be able to bring the car out of the terminal, I then reported the issue at the Roro Port Police Division and mobilised them to lawfully pin down the car which was done.
In the morning of September 1st, when the Toyota Venza was moved from its lane to a secluded place in the Five-Star Logistics terminal, he called me. It was shortly after I and the IPO returned to one of the offices at the Roro port police division, Tincan Island, Lagos that he called saying what is not and that the telex of the car is not yet ready but everything will be sorted that week. I reached out to him on September 2nd but he put up plain lies again and since then ghosted me while I was still hopefully expecting any update from him which never came through.
While still expecting him to notify me of the telex release, I carried out an investigation and discovered that the car is already being cleared from customs since August 20th by Fatai Arikewuyo who he also used as consignee. It was then I realised the reason Ajagbe Kazeem ghosted me after the early morning of August 26th, he promised to send me documents to enable me to start clearing the car from customs. I'm aware with evidence that Arikewuyo Fatai living at Surulere in Lagos is the guy who helps him to receive cars, helps him to look for clearing agents, and also buyers for the cars.
On the 11th of September 2025 when I took my client who owns the car to the Five-Star Logistics terminal to see the car was when the investigating police officer told us to come to the station. On getting there, we met Arikewuyo Fatai along with the clearing agent he was using to clear the car at the station. Arikewuyo Fatai actually came with the impression that he is someone who is doing business with Ajagbe Kazeem for the first time, and that he paid him N4,000,000 for the same Toyota Venza, until I revealed the fact that he has been his business partner at least since 2021, based on my evidence. He was then being grilled by the IPO and SO, of which SO asked him when he had known Ajagbe Kazeem, and he responded with several years, and when asked how many years, he said 2 years. The N4,000,000 that Arikewuyo Fatai said he paid Ajagbe Kazeem Muhammed, if confirmed to be true, could be part of the outstanding money from the cars he helped him to sell and not necessarily for the black Toyota Venza.
On September 15th, 2025, when I was asked to come back to the roro port police division, Arikewuyo and I were with Inspector Monday Ogboye, who is the IPO. The inspector called Ajagbe Kazeem on phone to ask if he collected money for the same car from the two of us and he said yes. He was then asked the amount he collected from me which he got right but said he collected N6,800,000 from Arikewuyo Fatai against N4,000,000 that Arikewuyo said but later said he later paid N1,700,000 for shipping of the car. Let's agree that Arikewuyo paid Ajagbe Kazeem a total of N5,700,000, how did he say N6,800,000? To me, from my observation of everything, they are just acting out a script to cover up their usual fraudulent act of using people's money to do business in the sense that they will ship, clear, and sell the cars they have collected their funds from their victims while posting and ghosting them. Any of their victims either wait for months to possibly get a car that won't be worth it or are refunded in bits that will scatter and make the funds useless while they make profits from the funds of their victims.
While still on call with the IPO, Ajagbe Kazeem asked the IPO how he could help him as he has a white Venza coming soon to deceive that he will use the car to sort the matter. He was then told that he needed to come to the station for better clarification, but he never showed up, not to mention any representative he said would come to represent him according to the IPO. I was able to get the VIN of the white Venza he said was coming; the white Venza was discharged from Sallaum's ship in Nigeria on September 25th, 2025, and it was taken out of the Five-Star Logistics Terminal on October 3rd, 2025.
A meeting was earlier scheduled against October 6th, 2025 at the police division. I was even thinking Agbaje Kazeem or Arikewuyo would come with the news that the white venza has been used to resolve the matter, and we can talk on how the black venza would be moved out of the terminal, and I take it. Lo and behold, Ajagbe Kazeem, not to mention his respondent or lawyer, didn't show up on October 6th, 2025, till I left the Roro Port police division around past 7 p.m on that day.
and his known phone numbers are +2348033553713, +2349112689750, and +2348174937271.
