Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and
Special Offences Unit (Task Force) has
recovered N5 million that fell off a bullion
van on Lagos State House of Assembly
Complex, Alausa, Ikeja.
The money is said to have been lost
around November and December 2015.
Mr Taofik Adebayo, the Task Force
Chairman, Olayinka Egbeyemi, disclosed
that two police officers attached to the
agency recovered the money.
According to Egbeyemi, the two police
officers namely Sergeant Ogunbiyi Agbabu
and Inspector Eheziekia Abiona, disclosed
that a bullion van drove pass them while
they were on duty at the agency’s
headquarters and something fell down
which was later discovered to be N5
million.
The chairman, while commending these
officers, disclosed that similar thing was
done to him when he was Divisional Police
Officer (DPO) at Ilupeju Police Station
where he won an award for returning
$130,000 and 50,000 pounds to owners of
a bullion van where the money was stolen.
He thereby implored appropriate
authority, especially the Police Authority
and Lagos State Government to give
commendation to these rare officers for
their honesty and integrity so as to
encourage others.
Egbeyemi, however, stated that any bullion
van that drove through Lagos State House
of Assembly Complex around November to
December 2015 with a missing N5 million
should come forward with a strong cogent
proof of ownership of the money.
