Driver & 4 others allegedly stole N100 million from ex-Jigawa governor

 
Sources allegedly also revealed that the money, which was allegedly kept under “ground bunker” in the wife’s wing of the multi-billion naira apartment at NNDC Quarters of Kano, was pilfered to “insignificant amount” before it was discovered.

According to Vanguard, the suspects have offered “useful information” on how they conspired to steal “oga’s money” and appeared ready to return what is left of the loot.

The source, a high-ranking officer, who preferred anonymity told pressmen that: “As I speak to you, we have five suspects in our custody and they have demonstrated a great deal of cooperation and we are living no stone unturned to recover the stolen money.

“When contacted for comments on the veracity of the development, the Zonal Police PublicRelations Officer, DSP Sambo Sokoto, neither denied nor confirmed the story."

When contacted about the theft, Lamido told Premium Times in a text message that the unfortunate inident truly happened. He however claimed that the stolen money belongs to his wife not him.

He said: “I understand that some house help entered my wife’s room and took away some money, I was told of it by my wife on Friday.”

Lamido said the first theft occurred about 2 months ago before his wife set a trap for the suspects. He however did not disclose how much was stolen amidst reports that it was millions of Naira.
