The FCT Police Command has arrested three Suspected car theft Syndicates and recovered two stolen vehicles.

On April 11, 2025, following a distress call received by Durumi Division regarding the theft of a Toyota Corolla, 2005 model, gold in colour, with registration number KUJ 208 DA, stolen from the owner’s residence, operatives of the Division immediately swung into action.

According to FCT Police Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, “The vehicle was tracked to a workshop in Durumi, where it was discovered undergoing illegal refurbishment”.

“The colour was being altered in an attempt to evade detection and facilitate a quick resale”.

A further search of the premises led to the recovery of another suspected stolen vehicle—a red Toyota Corolla with registration number GWA 844 CK, previously reported stolen from a residence in Jikwoyi.

She said that three suspects—Steven Musa, David Dalyol (a painter), and Ibrahim Mohammed (a mechanic)—were arrested at the scene.

“During interrogation, they confessed to being members of a car theft syndicate operating across Wuse, Central Area, Jikwoyi, and Bwari axis of the FCT”.

SP Josephine Adeh stated that they admitted to stealing several vehicles, refurbishing them, and reselling them as newer models.

“The suspects are currently in custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations”.

The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ajao S. Adewale, has urged vehicle owners to install tracking devices and other anti-theft systems to aid prompt recovery efforts.

The FCT Police Command remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of all residents.

Members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities through the following emergency lines: 08032003913, 08033111911, or 07057321547.
