Its part of a locking steering wheel setup. Fox brand I believe. It is made to not be easily removed as part of its anti theft function.
Clean around the top edge looking for evidence of a locking pin. That pin has to be removed/drilled out first.
That pin may be that bump @ the lowest side of the cover top.

Nothing needs to be drilled out.Your last picture shows a square pin in the 6 o'clock position. Look at the underside, aligned with that pin. You should see a small channel where a slender pin punch can enter and drive out the square pin. The unit should then unscrew.

Illustration that shows how the Fox Locking wheel is installed with hammering in those pins.
