The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has dismissed four
policemen for stealing domestic appliances and attire belonging to
former president Goodluck Jonathan which they sold to traders.

air-conditioners, Ijaw attires and designer suits from Jonathan’s
former residence in Gwarimpa which they sold to traders at the
Pankera second-hand market in Gwarimpa, Abuja.
The errant officers were dismissed after they were found
culpable in an orderly room trial.

Ugah, a statement on Thursday by the FCT police spokesman, Anjuguri

Shuaibu, who bought the items.
The police explained that the orderly room proceeding in respect
of Insps. Lengs Satlakau and Usman Wuduki has been forwarded
to Assistant Inspector-General, Zone 7 for further action.
