A black Toyota Hilux, assigned to the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Nuhu Ribadu, was reported stolen during Juma’at prayers in Abuja on Friday, prompting a swift response from security forces.
According to sources, the vehicle was left parked at approximately 1:05 p.m. near the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) complex in Area 10, while the ONSA official went to a nearby mosque for prayers. Upon returning, the official discovered that the vehicle had vanished.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama broke the news on his X (formerly Twitter) account, revealing that the theft was quickly reported to the Garki Police Division around 2:00 p.m.
In response, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command launched a widespread stop-and-search operation, mobilizing checkpoints and monitoring all entry and exit routes within Abuja.
Authorities have confirmed that investigations are underway, and all available resources are being deployed to locate the stolen vehicle and apprehend those responsible.
