One of the official vehicles, a Toyota Buffalo Land Cruiser has dramatically been stolen from the premises of the Force Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Following the said theft of the vehicle, an internal wireless message popularly known as ‘Radio message’ was despatched to all the 36 States intimating them about the bizzare development, asking them to be red alert towards the recovery of the vehicle.
Unfortunately, the internal communication (Radio message) leaked to the public while the Commissioner of Police (DFA, Katsina Command) was said to be relaying the information to all the Police formations within that State.
According to an internal wireless message from the Commissioner of Police (DFA, Katsina Command) relaying information from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), the vehicle, with chassis number JTELU71JX0B027126 and registration number NPF 5594 D, went missing on July 28, 2025.
The vehicle was attached to the Department of Operations at Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja.
It was reported missing after being removed from the official parking lot.
Police authorities say the case is under active investigation and have directed all area commands, divisional police officers, and formations nationwide to be on the lookout for the missing vehicle.
The message reads:
“Grateful be informed that Sig. No. CR:3000/FDPS/FHQS/Abj/Vol.2/189 DTO: 271231/08/2025 received from Nigpol Dops Abuja that a police official vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, was involved in an accident.
