Four in-laws of former President
Goodluck Jonathan have been arrested by operatives of the Operation Puff Adder
of the Bayelsa State Police Command.
They were arrested over their
alleged involvement in the breaking in of Jonathan’s home in Otuoke community
in Ogbia local government area, carting away jewerries, custom-made walking
stick and other valuables worth over N.3billion.
It was gathered from a source
in the community that some substantial sum of money was also carted away.
The four suspects include: two
brothers former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, and two ladies suspected to
be members of the Jonathan’s family.
The two brothers to the former
First Lady were identified as: Mowsor Princewill Oba and Boma Rasheed Oba. The
other two female suspect are yet to be identified.
It was also gathered that after
some domestic staff to the former President discovered the robbery, he was
informed and he quickly called in men of the Bayelsa Police Command to effect
their arrest and recover the looted valuables.
Another source close to the
former First family revealed that the former First lady was also shocked
and disgusted by the grand theft and wondered why the arrested management staff
of his hotel did not steal her money instead masterminded the looting of his
husband’s valuables.
Further investigations revealed
that the suspects are showing signs of remorse and regretting their actions,
“they are already making useful confession to the police and some monies from
the proceeds are being recovered,” the source said.
A Police source revealed that the suspects were relatives who were entrusted with the house but
betrayed the trust and looted the home.
When contacted on the
development, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Asimin Butwats told
our correspondent, “I will get the detail to you later today, please”.
