The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), of the Police has recovered a large sum of money in a bag hidden in an uncompleted building in Abuja.
Spokesman for the command, ASP Anjuguri Manzah, announced this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday.
The statement said the money was recovered in a building located on Zuba-Giri axis of the territory.
The statement did not disclose the amount recovered.
It asked anyone who might have connection with the money to come to the Public Relations Officer of the command with proof of ownership for collection.
“Such persons should come with proof of ownership, including stating the exact sum of money, the denomination, the colour of the bag and the circumstances that led to the loss”, it said.
The statement said the recovery was evident that the command was alive to its responsibility and that its proactive crime fighting measure was yielding desired result.
JD:See policing in Nigeria.,do you “just discover” large amounts of cash in a house like Fela would say “just like that”?is it an uncompleted building?if it wasnt ,did the police have a warrant?who owns the house?
“The statement said the recovery was evident that the command was alive to its responsibility and that its proactive crime fighting measure was yielding desired result.”…indeed.another case of “unknown money”
“The statement did not disclose the amount recovered.” Very suspicious. So that they can take as much as they want before the owner appears – i.e if he ever appears. Hmmm…
