Burglars Raid Akwa Ibom Government House, Loot Millions

Published

on

A yet to be identified group of burglars have staged a raid at the Akwa Ibom State Government House, carting away money to the tune of millions.

Eko Hot Blog gathered that the money was meant for journalists, which has raised question marks on why the state government was giving such a huge sum of money to journalists in the state.

Daily Trust reports that the money was kept at the office of the secretary to the chief press secretary to the governor.

The office was reportedly burgled as the locks were tampered with. The “Ghana-must-go bag” containing the money is said to have been emptied and left on the floor.

The chief security officer to the governor is also reported to have gone to the press centre a day after the incident to invite the driver to the chief press secretary for interrogations.

“The money came in yesterday afternoon, but they refused to share it to the people it was meant for,” a source told Daily Trust. “So, the thief came in the night and destroyed the keys and gained access to the office of the Secretary to the CPS.

“This is not the first time the government house press centre is being robbed. We have lost about three plasma televisions, one at the reception, one in the reporter’s office and the other in the office used by cameramen. In all of these, no meeting, no replacement,” the source added.

Ekerete Udoh, the chief press secretary to the state governor, refused to comment on the theft.
