Burglars Break into Kwara State Ministry of Finance, Make away with Vital Documents

Amidst the controversies and numerous investigations into the tenure of former governor, Bukola Saraki, and claims by the police of his involvement a N9.2b loan scam, burglars have made an unprecedented break-in at the Kwara State Ministry of Finance, carting away undisclosed amounts of money as well as all documents, including their electronic backups, which detailed government transactions since 2003, Sahara Reporters have claimed.

According to a top government functionary, the burglars first attempted to break into the Accountant General’s office in the Ministry in the early hours of Friday, September 21, but the guards and the burglary-proof doors foiled the attack. However, the attackers returned on Saturday night armed with different tools, grenades and even a power generator with which they broke into the offices where the documents and money were kept.

The incident, according to another source, is fuelling speculations about official cover-up of certain transactions that have been the subject of public scrutiny such as local government joint accounts, contracts and SUBEB funds, with critics drawing a parallel with a similar occurrence at the SGBN a few years ago when the Nuhu Ribadu-led EFCC was probing the insider trading that wrecked the bank.

More than a week after the incident, neither the state government nor the police have spoken officially on the matter and it is not clear whether any arrest has been made. The burglary story first surfaced on Twitter, where a whistleblower mentioned it on Tuesday, but Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed’s spokesman, Dr. Muideen Akorede, waved it aside as a “robbery” that is under investigation.
