An individual has been apprehended by agents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command on suspicion of posing as a Permanent Secretary affiliated with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
On October 20, 2026, in Maitama District, Abuja, police officers stopped a Lexus LX570 SUV with a counterfeit Presidency license plate, leading to the suspect’s detention.
This was revealed in a statement released on Thursday by SP Josephine Adeh, the command’s police public relations officer.
The PPRO reports that the driver and passenger of the vehicle were apprehended without delay in order to initiate an inquiry and, if necessary, prosecution.
The disguised number plate, according to her, had the lettering “PRESIDENCY” and the registration number 10B218 FG, as shown in preliminary investigations.
Adeh further by saying that while the suspect initially claimed ownership of the license plate, it was later discovered that the paperwork was a forgery.
According to the police spokeswoman, the individual in question allegedly pretended to be a Permanent Secretary working for the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
