| ...Gov Akpabio |
The Akwa Ibom State Police Command headquarters, Ikot
Akpan Abia, have arrested three staff of the Nigerian
Aviation Handling Company (NAHCo) attached to Arik Airlines for allegedly stealing N2million from the luggage of a
Government House, Uyo protocol staff at Ibom International Airport.
The
money was said to have been removed from the about N8million reportedly
taken to Lagos by the protocol team for use during Governor Godswill
Akpabio's trip for his investiture as the Sun Newspapers Man of the Year
award ceremony penultimate Saturday. *Serious cough*
It was reported that Bundles
of the mint-fresh notes kept in one of the official’s
luggage allegedly developed wings in mysterious circumstances when some
top government officials on the governor's entourage were returning to
Uyo. It was gathered that no sooner the money was discovered missing from the luggage in
which it was kept had been tampered, Fiaam! like lightning the protocol
officer raised the alarm.
Immediately a quick search was conducted on all luggage and personal effects of
passengers and staff of the baggage unit of the airline, this led to the
recovery of the money from where the prime suspect, one Victor, who was
in charge of the baggage unit, had hidden it.
According to source, The
governor reportedly gave instruction that the matter should be handled
discretely so Nigerians do not have the impression that government
officials were moving about with huge cash.>> *wink Wink*
