Ministry of Finance, carting away undisclosed amounts of money as well
as all documents, including their electronic backups, which detailed
government transactions since 2003.
A top government functionary told SaharaReporters that the burglars
first attempted to break into the Accountant General's office in the
Ministry in the early hours of Friday,
September 21, but the guards and the burglary- proof doors foiled the attack.
The attackers returned on Saturday night armed with different tools
grenades and even a power generator with which they broke into the
offices where the documents and money were kept, the source said.
The burglary story first surfaced on Twitter, where a whistleblower
mentioned it last Tuesday, prompting a terse response from Dr.Muideen
Akorede, Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed's spokesman, who dubbed the
incident a "robbery" that is investigation.
Saraki has denied any wrongdoing in the case,which he labels as
political blackmail being sponsored by his traducers.
The police are yet to charge him in the case, but the Police
Commissioner heading the Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Mr Tunde Ogunsakin,
was reported as saying recently that investigations into the case have
reached top gear and that it will soon be charged to court."
Imagine the thieves even went with generator in order to be able to
see clearly all the documents they needed to take.kinda funny but it
is a serious issue !!!!!
