The missing vehicle, a Toyota Buffalo Land Cruiser with registration number NPF 5594 D and chassis number JTELU71JX0B027126, was reported stolen on July 28, 2025. An internal memo from the Commissioner of Police in Katsina Command, relayed via the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), confirmed the development.
The SUV, assigned to the Department of Operations at Louis Edet House, was discovered missing from the official parking lot.
