Popular Benue-based content creator and comedian Kwegi Hyacinth Igba, widely known as “Mimidoo,” is counting his losses after thieves made away with his silver Toyota Corolla on Monday evening, right in the heart of Makurdi.
According to a post the Federal University of Agriculture alumnus made on his verified Facebook page, the vehicle was stolen on December 9, 2025, at exactly 6:50 p.m. along the new Otukpo Road, Food Domain area, directly opposite the NNPC Filling Station.
“My car has been stolen this evening 9/12/2025 at 6:50 pm at Food Domain new Otukpo road near NNPC FILLING STATION Makurdi Benue state,” he wrote, alongside clear photographs of the missing Corolla (registration details visible) showing both front and rear views.
Friends, followers, and colleagues quickly turned the post into a public alert, pushing it across multiple platforms with the hashtags #Viral #Benue #TrendingPost. Within hours, the announcement had been shared thousands of times as concerned citizens urged anyone with information to reach out.
Kwegi, who has built a solid following of over 6,000 on Facebook with his hilarious Tiv-English skits and social commentary, provided a direct contact number (07038928570) for anyone who spots the vehicle or has useful leads.
The incident has reignited conversations about rising car theft in Makurdi, especially in busy commercial areas where vehicles are often parked for only a few minutes. Many commenters expressed shock that the theft happened in broad daylight and in such a high-traffic location.
As of Wednesday morning, the car remains missing, and the creator has urged the public to stay vigilant. “If you have any information help him. And don’t forget to share please to create awareness,” one widely shared repost read.
For now, Kwegi and his team are hoping the power of social media, the same platform that built his brand, will help bring his car back home. Anyone with information is asked to call the number above or contact the nearest police station.
