Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command have intercepted a Lexus LX570 SUV with a concealed number plate bearing the inscription “Presidency” in Maitama District of Abuja.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the vehicle was intercepted at about 8:00 pm on October 20 and the occupant was arrested for investigation and prosecution.
Adeh said preliminary investigations revealed that the concealed number plate bore the inscription “PRESIDENCY” with registration number 10B218 FG.
