DKU Plate Number Meaning: Dukku, Gombe
The DKU plate number is registered in Dukku Local Government Area, Gombe. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Dukku, run from Dukku town, uses DKU. At 3,815 km² it is the largest by area of the Gombe districts, holding 207,190 residents at the 2006 census — around 54 for every square kilometre. Size makes no difference to the code: one district, three letters.

What the DKU Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DKU places the paperwork in Dukku. 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 DKU plate away from Gombe 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.
