A Nigerian man has labeled the EFCC car auction a scam and an inside job after a suspicious bid of N350 billion was allegedly placed for a Lexus RX 350 Jeep on the commission’s website.
According to a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man claimed that an unknown individual successfully bid N350 billion for the vehicle.
He accused the EFCC of orchestrating a rigged auction, allowing such a large sum to be paid for a Lexus RX 350 Jeep.
In his statement, he expressed outrage: “The auction you conducted yesterday was a sham! In a bid to rig the system, the incompetent auctioneers you engaged allowed a bid of N350,000,000,000 for a Lexus RX 350 Jeep. It’s not a glitch. It’s a deliberate attempt to gate-keep others from bidding.”
The man suggested that the EFCC’s actions were intentional, aimed at favoring certain individuals by manipulating the auction.
He added, “The outrageous bid is a well-calculated attempt to rig out potential buyers. The highest bidder (N350bn) will refuse to pay, and then the auctioneers/EFCC will contact the second-highest bidder (an insider) to pay.”
As the post gained traction, several individuals who claimed to have experienced similar issues flooded the comments section to share their thoughts and concerns.

@TarahtalksNG: “Let EFCC investigate the buyer … this might be a way to know Nigerians who don’t have a legit source of income. Let’s have it.”
@iamolyjosh: “Since when have they been listing so many cars without year in this very ad? I already know they are up to no good.”
@Allezamani: “I thought I was the only one that noticed this, a person bidding 22 million for a Nigeria-used RX 350 2011 model.”
@apapa606: “The EFCC is a criminal organization that needs to be scrapped immediately.”
@oluwatayofem: “People should understand something, that in today’s Nigeria, auctions, be it private or from government, would be difficult to get good vehicles because the officials must have shared the good ones amongst themselves, their family members, and their cronies.”
@Mickyiv4: “This is outrageous & a petty scam from the country’s number one anti-corruption agency.”
@edoyakulo: “Should they not provide proof of the same payment if the same vehicle is eventually confirmed as auctioned?”
