10 stolen Rivers govt vehicles recovered

Firstclass newsline learnt that the vehicles were recovered from two
locations identified as Rumuokparali and Trans-Amadi in Obio/Akpor
Local Government Area of the state.
A statement from Government House identified the recovered vehicles as
one Coaster bus, two Nissan Urvan buses, two Higer vehicles, one Land
Cruiser, one Toyota Hilux Pick-up, one Peugeot 607 Saloon car and two
Peugeot 406 cars.
It was learnt that security operatives who conducted the operation
were accompanied to the locations by some Government House employees.
The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, had, on assumption of
duty, alleged massive looting of government property and facilities by
the immediate past administration.
Wike had also taken leading Rivers State stakeholders on a tour of the
Government House to see the points where facilities in Government
House were either looted or vandalised.
The governor had, however, vowed that all stolen government property
would be recovered while those found to have engaged in the criminal
act would be made to face the wrath of the law.
A statement from Government House revealed that security operatives
had begun the interrogation of those found at the locations where the
stolen vehicles were recovered.
Government House in Port Harcourt says the property recovery process
will be a continuous process.
Speaking on the development, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, told a source on Tuesday that the command
was able to recover the vehicles based on information that the stolen
items were seen in unauthorised places.
"Acting on information that some suspected vehicles belonging to the
Rivers State Government were seen parked in unauthorised yards, the
command recovered three Coaster buses, two 306 Peugeot, two Hummer
buses and one 306 Peugeot," Mohammad said.
He, however, pointed out that investigation was still ongoing with a
view to recovering more of the stolen vehicles and property removed
without authorisation from the Government House.
