KAB Plate Number Meaning: Kabba/Bunu, Kogi
The KAB plate number is registered in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area, Kogi. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
KAB belongs to Kabba/Bunu, administered from Kabba. Around 145,446 people were counted there in 2006 across 2,706 km², near 54 to the square kilometre. The code is issued once, with the papers, and read back later exactly as given. Everything else about the car comes from its chassis number.

What KAB Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 KAB plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

What the KAB Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KAB places the paperwork in Kabba/Bunu. 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 KAB plate away from Kogi 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.
