A Nigerian man has bought a Bugatti Veyron car owned by Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nigeria’s privately owned Punch news site reports.

Obi Okeke, popularly known as Doctor Bugatti, bought the car for $2.5m ( £1.7m).



The Bugatti Veyron 2015 model goes 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and has only had about 1,000 miles on it, the report says.

According to entertainment site TMZ, Mr Okeke, a Bugatti dealer, has intentions to resell the vehicle.

The Spanish edition of the motor sport magazine, Top Gear, has a story about Mr Okeke “titled the man capable of selling 93 cars at a time.”

As a Republican, Schwarzenegger was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis.

He was sworn in on November 17, to serve the remainder of Davis’ term.

He was then re-elected in the 2006 California gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor.

In 2011, he completed his second term as governor and returned to acting.

Schwarzenegger was nicknamed “the Austrian Oak” in his bodybuilding days, “Arnie” during his acting career, and “The Governator” (a portmanteau of “Governor” and “Terminator”) during his political career.
