Former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has confirmed that thieves, including six policemen who have been arrested, stole six television sets, three refrigerators and one gas cooker from his Abuja house last week.
A statement in Abuja today by his spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze said that investigations had led to the arrest and detention of six policemen and some of the suspects.
“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.
“However, contrary to exaggerated reports in some media, only six television sets, 3 refrigerators and one gas cooker were stolen. Being that the house is a modest 4-bedroom duplex, it couldn’t have been fitted with “36 Plasma television sets and about 25 refrigerators” as falsely reported by some media outfits.
“We thank all Nigerians for their show of concern and wish to convey the former President’s goodwill to all Nigerians.”[myad]
