Nigerian Embassy Diplomatic Car Torched and Tires Slashed in Kfar Saba

Police are investigating an incident in Kfar Saba where a vehicle belonging to the Nigerian Embassy and used by an immigration official was set on fire and had two tires punctured. The car was parked several streets away from the official's home and was torched on September 20. A fire investigator determined the blaze was intentional. Investigators are examining surveillance footage that shows the vehicle entering and exiting the city of Tayibe recently, and are looking into the immigration official's trips to Tayibe for any connection to the incident. There are no street cameras in the immediate vicinity of where the car was torched, leaving investigators without direct visual evidence of the act. The official suggested two possible motives to investigators: a personal romantic dispute or retaliation from someone whose visa request was denied. Currently, there is no evidence linking the arson to either possibility. The official's mobile phone has been seized as investigators work to extract information that could help solve the case. The investigation is being conducted by the Kfar Saba police station, and the motive remains undetermined.
