OPERATIVES of the Rivers State Police Command on Monday recovered a cash sum of N60.25m two days after it was declared missing.
The police said the huge sum of money
belonging to one of the new generation banks in the state, was recovered
through an intelligence report.
A bullion van conveying over N100m cash
was allegedly declared missing on Friday, July 8, 2016 after the van
came into Port Harcourt from Aba in Abia State, to deliver the said
cash.
It was learnt that a formal complaint
was lodged at the Rivers State Police Command, which immediately began
investigation into the disappearance of the money.
However, two days after, it was
gathered that the said amount (N60,250,000) was found by the police at a
place where it was allegedly abandoned in a taxi car.
Addressing newsmen at the state command
after the recovery, the state Deputy Police Commissioner in charge of
Administration, Mr. Uche Anozia, said that the bullion van was rented to
convey money for two new generation banks in Port Harcourt from Aba.
Anozia noted that the van went missing
when security escorts attached to it disembarked after it had delivered
part of the cash to one of the banks (Zenith Bank).http://punchng.com/rivers-police-recover-missing-n60-25m-cash/
