Eagle-eyed security operatives attached to the Edo State Government House Friday night foiled an attempt by one of the drivers in the convoy of the State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, to break into the Accounts Section of the Government House.
It was learnt that there was large lodgement of cash on Wednesday evening probably meant offset some expenses towards the Sallah festival.
The security operatives who were on routine check were said to have noticed the suspect cutting off protectors in the accounts office. But on sighting the operatives, the suspected thief tried to escape, unknown to him that he had already been identified by the security men who followed him up and apprehended him.
He was promptly handed over to police at the Aideyan Police Station in Benin.
Confirming the incident, Edo State Police Command spokesman, DSP Stephen Onwuchei, said “there was a report of such nature. It is still at investigation level. The Commissioner of Police has ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department(CID) to take over the investigation.
“As I speak with you, the DC State CID should be in Government House to visit the scene of crime,” Onwuchei said.
