Montreal police arrested a man suspected of having stolen 55 motor vehicles in one fell swoop last winter, thanks to his sense of "timing" and his expertise in forging false documents.

To Nigeria

Copart filed a complaint with the City of Montreal Police Service. The multinational’s internal security service collaborated with the criminal investigation launched by the economic crimes section of the police force.
Investigators attempted to locate the president of the numbered company that made the purchase with the forged bank drafts, but soon realized that he did not exist. The driver's license provided when he registered for the auction was that of a Montrealer who was the victim of identity theft. The document had been altered by a forger.
The address given for the numbered company was fictitious and the lawyer's letter was false.
The company that bought the vehicles only existed on paper. "This is a fraudulent business, believed to have been formed illegally by people with false identities," said Copart’s lawyers.
By questioning some of the tugs, the police were able to find some of the stolen vehicles, which were stored in Saint-Laurent and in the Durham region. But 19 vehicles were already on four transport vessels bound for Nigeria. It took an order from the Superior Court to force the shipping company not to land the containers once arrived in Africa and to send them back to Quebec to return the cars to their rightful owners after a long trip, last May .


Investigators also knew that Ekens Azubuike had some experience with false documents. A citizen of Nigeria, he arrived in Canada in 2007 and was granted political asylum on the basis of a court judgment in his country which demonstrated that he had been found guilty of treason and persecuted for his political opinions. . A few years later, the authorities discovered that the judgment was false, signed by a judge who had never existed. Ekens Azubuike had been deported from Canada, but managed to return to the country a month later.
Very active on social networks, Ekens Azubuike has spent a lot of time in recent years taking pictures with elected officials from the Liberal Party of Canada (PLC), such as Stéphane Dion, Marc Garneau and even Justin Trudeau. He used these photos extensively when promoting the myriad of companies and foundations registered in his name that allegedly do business in the areas of humanitarian aid, private security, counterintelligence and 'import Export. However, he never held any role within the party, according to the political party.
