According to vanguard newspaper, the Rivers State Police Command, reportedly recovered N60 million out of the N100 million in a bullion van that went
missing on Friday on its way from Aba in Abia State to Rivers
The command said the money, which belonged to Zenith and
Stanbic Bank in the state was recovered on Monday after it
was abandoned in a taxi in the premises of a popular
supermarket in GRA, Port Harcourt.
The bullion van, was declared missing on Friday, and a formal
complaint was allegedly filed at Rivers State Police
Command, which lead to an investigation.
Addressing pressmen yesterday in Port Harcourt, Deputy
Police Commissioner, Mr. Uche Anozia, said:
“On July 8, last Friday, we received a report by one
Mr. Stanley Ndubuisi of Bankers Warehouse, about a
missing bullion van. It was rented by Zenith Bank and
Stanbic Bank, here in Port Harcourt to bring cash
from Aba.
“Arriving Port Harcourt, it went to Zenith Bank,
delivered the money meant for the bank. According to
the complainant, at that point the soldiers
disembarked and left. Now it remained the money for
Stanbic Bank and the driver alone. Consequently, the
driver absconded with the money.
“We got information on July 11, that a certain Ford
Explorer was parked at the premises of Everyday
Supermarket, located in GRA and that the vehicle
contains sacks suspected to be bank property.
“I immediately dispatched my DC Operations to the
area to verify. Fortunately for us, it was discovered
that the sacks in the vehicle belong to Stanbic Bank
because of the seals on them.
“The amount recovered, according to information, is
N60,250,000. The driver that parked the car there is
the driver of Everyday Supermarket. He is on the run
now.”
