The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has launched a comprehensive investigation following the disappearance of a black Toyota Hilux assigned to the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), headed by Nuhu Ribadu.
The vehicle was allegedly stolen on Friday while an ONSA staff member attended Juma’at prayers in Abuja.
Sources familiar with the incident reported that the vehicle was parked around 1:05 p.m. directly across from the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) complex in Area 10.
The official had left the car to join prayers at a nearby mosque, only to return and discover it missing.
