The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has intensified security efforts following the mysterious disappearance of one of its official vehicles from the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
The missing car, a Toyota Buffalo Land Cruiser with registration number NPF 5594 D and chassis number JTELU71JX0B027126, was reported stolen on July 28, 2025. The incident was confirmed through an internal wireless memo circulated by the Katsina State Police Command and relayed from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID).
According to the report, the SUV—allocated to the Department of Operations at Louis Edet House (Force Headquarters)—was discovered missing after it was allegedly removed from the official parking lot.
A police signal obtained by reporters read:
“The vehicle attached to the Department of Operations, FHQ Abuja, was declared missing/stolen or removed from where parked on 28/07/2025 from the parking lot of FHQ, Louis Edet House, Abuja.
Case is under investigation. Grateful disseminate to formations, area commands, and divisions for possible recovery.”
In response, all area commands, divisional police officers, and tactical units nationwide have been instructed to remain on high alert. The case has been tagged as “very important,” with security agencies urged to treat any potential leads as urgent.
Authorities are appealing to the public and security formations across the country to provide immediate reports if the vehicle is sighted or traced.
The disappearance of such a high-profile police vehicle from within the Headquarters has sparked debates about possible internal security lapses and raised questions about operational discipline within the Force.
