Operatives of the Nigeria police Command in FCT have launched a discreet investigation into a potential presidency registration scandal following the interception of a suspicious vehicle in Abuja last Monday.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh explained in a statement that acting on credible intelligence, police officers intercepted a black Toyota Corolla bearing an official Presidency registration number, M01-997 FG.
