Pal Auto boss, Fred Ahuwa, seems not to have fulfilled all the promises made to his aggrieved clients a few months ago. The auto dealer had allegedly duped some clients of their hard-earned money.
Ahuwa was introduced to some good clients by celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Makun, otherwise known as Yomi Casual. Yomi Casual was called out by aggrieved customers who had bought cars from Ahuwa. They neither took delivery of their orders nor get refunds of their money.
The customers claimed that Yomi had introduced Ahuwa to them as a trusted car dealer and they decided to patronise him, based on his recommendation. A male client paid N31 million in batches, but he didn’t get his car despite the fact that he sought the consent of the fashion designer to ensure that Ahuwa could be trusted.
Another female client paid over N3 million, but didn’t get a car in return. The auto dealer had promised to make refunds. He posted a video on Instagram, which showed him apologise to all the troubled parties and promised to work out modalities of re-payment or getting their desired automobile across to them.
Ahuwa admitted that he received large sums of money from a lot of people and blamed a business deal gone sour, as well as fraudsters, for his woes. He exonerated Yomi from his predicament and apologised to him for being at the centre of the controversy. He told the aggrieved customers that the designer has no hand in the situation as he was just acting based on their friendship and the good business deal between them.
Ahuwa pleaded for more time to resolve all the issues and promised to get across to all aggrieved parties individually. A visit to his social media handle revealed that he has since deleted the video of the promise he made. He has also restricted comments on some of his posts, while switching off comments in some old posts where he advertised some cars.
He has also not been active on the networking platform. He returned to Instagram in January to make a post about his birthday and restricted comments as usual, but some people managed to ask him about his whereabouts and why he has not been responding to their inquiries. It was gathered that not all aggrieved parties have been settled, but he is frantically trying to ensure he is out of debt and regains his reputation in the auto business.
