The guest house of the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Gboribiogha Jonah, has been looted.
In a statement, Jonah’s media aide, Ebi Evinson, said the looting was carried out by unknown people at the Bayelsa State Government House.
This is coming barely two weeks to the expiration of the tenure of the Seriake Dickson administration.
Evinson said the hoodlums carted away a generator, electronic equipment, air conditioners and other items from the guest house.
He said the deputy governor had not directed anybody to remove anything from his guest house ahead of his exit from office.
Evinson said, “Following the crisis in the Brass Local Government Area sometime last year, the deputy governor voluntarily offered part of the facility for use by the chairman of the Brass Local Government Council, Victor Isaiah, who is still occupying the place.”
He claimed that the looting was aimed at tarnishing Jonah’s image.
The statement called on the Government House guards to arrest those who looted the retired naval officer’s guest house in the last hours of “the Restoration Administration”.
It is the second time a theft case would be reported to have taken place at Government House.
On December 6, 2019, three policemen, four Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officers were apprehended by police over the alleged disappearance of N3.5million from the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Government House, Mrs Ebizi Ndiomu-Brown.
The police also picked up a maintenance officer on duty as a suspect.
