Read some of the reactions below:
It may be class, it may be stupidity or too much money but I think I know is that it will take lots of security and extra money to keep the said in-law in the BMW for a considerable amount of time.

Hope there is a coffin in the car else in-law may eventually go Solo.
If People can dug out a coffin for reselling what more a BMW, this was just a mere/kind donation to the few youths in Nigeria
