Nigeria Police SUV Stolen Inside Force Headquarters
In what many have described as an embarrassing breach of security, report according to Sahara Reporters suggests that the Nigeria Police Force has declared the theft of one of its official vehicles right from the premises of the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
The missing vehicle, a Toyota Buffalo Land Cruiser with registration number NPF 5594 D and chassis number JTELU71JX0B027126, was attached to the Department of Operations at Louis Edet House, the national police headquarters.
According to an internal wireless message circulated by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) and relayed to police commands nationwide, the SUV was declared missing after it was reportedly removed from the official parking lot on July 28, 2025, the report by SH says “The internal memo, sighted by SH, urged all area commands, divisional police officers, and other formations across the country to be on alert and assist in recovering the stolen vehicle.
Part of the police message read:
“A police official’s vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, was declared missing/stolen or removed from where it was parked on 28/07/2025 at the parking lot of Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja. The case is under investigation. All formations and commands are requested to treat as very important and report any possible leads.”
The disappearance of the vehicle from the heavily guarded Force Headquarters has raised eyebrows, with many questioning how such a breach could occur in the very heart of the nation’s security architecture.
