Dikeh was said to have approached the car company owned by Elvis Abuyere for the purchase of a brand-new Changan Uni-K 2023 model from Mikano Motors and the car dealer , who has a dealership relationship with Mikano, subsequently paid N85 million to Mikano as full payment for the car with an agreement that Dikeh would pay the balance in installments within three months after taking possession of the car.
The first deposit by Dikeh was her used 2008/2009 Lexus, which was worth N37 million and she reportedly made an additional payment of N3.5 million but later failed to respect the payment agreement template in April.
On May 1, Abuyere reportedly retrieved the car from Dikeh who later paid N20 million, N17 million, and N5 million, leaving an outstanding balance of N2.1 million.
