Jonathan Confirms Abuja House Burglary, Reveals Stolen Items

Former President, Mr Goodluck Jonathan has confirmed the theft
of his property from his house in Abuja.

He confirmed the incident in a statement by his spokesperson,
Ikechukwu Eze, following some media reports that the home was
stripped bare and some of the items stolen were being sold in
markets.

“The house, which the former President bought from CITEC estate
developers in 2004, was totally stripped bare by the thieves who
stole every movable item in the house including furniture sets,
beds, electronics, toilet and electrical fittings, as well as all
internal doors and frames.”

Premium Times had exclusively reported the burglary.

While some other media reports stated that over 36 Plasma
television sets and 25 refrigerators were moved out of the
apartment, the former president denied the claims, stating that the
number of items stolen was less than that.

According to the statement, however, Mr Jonathan noted that
investigations commenced immediately which led to the arrest and
detention of some suspects, six of whom were policemen.

“The theft was discovered last month upon which a report was
duly lodged with the relevant police authorities.

“The police immediately commenced investigations which led to
the arrest and detention of some suspects, six of whom were
policemen, even as investigations continue.
