Burglars storm Saraki’s office, cart away N12m

The President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, yesterday, said burglars broke into his country home in Ilorin, Kwara State, and carted away N12 million. 

The incident, which occurred two weeks ago, has since been reported to the Kwara State Police Command and investigations have commenced.
According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, a report published by an online media on the issue insinuating that Saraki’s domestic aides were responsible for the theft was untrue and misleading, adding that the perpetrators were yet to be identified. Olaniyonu also said the amount of money stolen was N12 million and not N300 million as reported by the said online media.
In the statement made available to the media, Olaniyonu explained that the unknown persons broke into the safe in the Administrative Office , stressing that the incident did not take place in Saraki’s room as claimed in some online news platforms.
He took exception to the insinuations that the stolen money belonged to the Kwara State Government, stressing that the money has nothing to do with Kwara State Government.http://newtelegraphonline.com/burglars-storm-sarakis-office-cart-away-n12m/
