THE Federal Capital Territory Police Command has dismissed four policemen for stealing domestic appliances and attire belonging to former president Goodluck Jonathan which they sold to traders.
Items stolen include six television sets, fridges, air-conditioners, Ijaw attires and designer suits from Jonathan’s former residence in Gwarimpa which they sold to traders at the Pankera second-hand market in Gwarimpa, Abuja.
The policemen, who were dismissed after they were found culpable in an orderly room trial, include Sgts. Musa Musa, John Nanpak, Ogah Audu and Gabriel Ugah.
Anjuguri Manzah, FCT police spokesman, in a statement issued on Thursday, August 3, said: “In fulfilment of the promise by the FCT Police Command to make public its findings on the investigation of the case of theft at the Gwarimpa residence of former president Dr Goodluck Jonathan, the command wishes to state that in line with first schedule of Police Act and regulation 370 Cap 19, the policemen guarding the house have been tried in an orderly room proceeding and found culpable of the offence.
“Sequel to the outcome of the orderly room proceeding, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo has approved the immediate dismissal of the policemen from the Nigeria Police Force”
The statement said that Musa who is the main culprit will be prosecuted in compliance with the vision of Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police “to rid the Nigeria Police Force of criminal elements that are out to disparage the good image of the Force.”
