The vehicle, which was attached to the Department of Operations at Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, was reported missing on July 28, 2025, after it was allegedly removed from the official parking lot.
The Commissioner of Police in charge of DFA, Katsina Command in an internal wireless message, revealed that the missing vehicle bears chassis number JTELU71JX0B027126 and registration number NPF 5594 D.
