The operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, FCT command, recovered a stolen gray Toyota Corolla with registration number KWL 738 BB during their routine morning patrol along Apo Dutse Road in FCT Abuja.

Upon waking and hearing about the situation, Mr. Mustapha rushed out to find that his car had indeed been taken from where it was parked.
“The recovery of the vehicle brought immense joy to Mr. Mustapha, who expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the officers for their prompt and diligent work as further investigation into the incident has commenced.
