The Committee inaugurated to recover Edo state government vehicles has said that over 200 vehicles “are currently missing” after the expiration of ex-Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration.
The chairman of the Committee, Mr. Kelly Okungbow,a who disclosed this to journalists in Benin City, stated that it had recovered three vehicles in a private residence.
“These vehicles were recovered from one person’s house. Palliatives were recovered from the Toyota Hiace bus as some garri and bags of rice were kept in the bus.
“We are just wondering how many will be in the Houses of former government officials like the Chief of Staff, SSG, and the so-called deputy governor which is not known by law,” he said.
The Committee chair who spoke on the success of his Committee within 24 hours of its inauguration said the three vehicles included one Hilux van and two Toyota Hiace buses.
“Report reaching us is that we have over 200 government vehicles missing. We appeal for more information as the whistleblowers will be handsomely rewarded.
“This is not private property, but the property of Edo citizens and it is not good for a private individual to steal government property.”
Okungbowa, who appealed for more information from members of the public, stated that it was the information earlier obtained that led to the recovery of the three vehicles.
He assured whistleblowers that a handsome reward awaits them provided their information was correct and verifiable.
