DKP Plate Number Meaning: Ohimini, Benue
The DKP plate number is registered in Ohimini Local Government Area, Benue. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Ohimini, administered from Idekpa, uses DKP. About 71,482 people were counted there in 2006 across 632 km², around 113 to the square kilometre. A plate lookup reads the letters back to a district and a state, and stops there. Owners are not part of what a plate encodes, in this district or any other.

What the DKP Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DKP places the paperwork in Ohimini. It does not follow the car afterwards: a vehicle sold across state lines keeps its plate until it is re-registered, which is why a DKP plate away from Benue is a question for the seller rather than a finding in itself.
The letters also say nothing about the holder, the model or the history of the vehicle. Colours and special series are a separate system, explained on the code hub; what the car itself has been through — auction lots, damage, mileage at sale — is recorded against its VIN and travels with the car even when the plate changes.
Questions about the DKP plate number
What does the DKP plate number mean?
DKP is the registration code of Ohimini Local Government Area in Benue. A vehicle wearing it was registered there; the three digits after the letters are its serial inside that LGA, and the last two letters are the series.
Which state is a DKP plate number from?
Benue. The code identifies the local government area — Ohimini — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
