(Photo)They stripped my house bare- Jonathan confirms theft by 6 policemen

Former President, Dr. Goodluck  Ebele Jonathan, said, yesterday, that his house in Gwarimpa, Abuja, was stripped bare by thieves who carted away all movable items in the house.
Jonathan, who spoke through a statement issued by his spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, last night, said

 “Following series of enquiries from journalists and other concerned Nigerians on the extent of the reported vandalisation and theft in the house of former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan located in Gwarimpa, Abuja, we, therefore, would like to make the following clarifications: 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. 

“The house, which the former President bought from CITEC estate developers in 2004, was totally stripped bare by the thieves who stole every movable item in the house, including furniture sets, beds, electronics, toilet and electrical fittings, as well as all internal doors and frames. “However, contrary to exaggerated reports in some media, only six television sets, three refrigerators and one gas cooker were stolen. 

Being that the house is a modest, a 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.”
