Section 429: Receiving after change of ownership

When a thing has been obtained by means of any act constituting a felony or
misdemeanor, or by means of an act done at a place not in Nigeria, which if it had
been done in Nigeria would have constituted an offence, and which is an offence under
the laws in force in the place where it was done, and another person has acquired a
lawful title to it, a subsequent receiving of the thing is not an offence although the
receiver knows that the thing had previously been so obtained.
