It was pure drama that took place at the Government House, Katsina, recently when some persons allegedly stole money from the building.

The unknown persons on Thursday, stole millions of naira from the account section.

The Director-General to the governor on New Media, Alhaji Al-Amin Isah, confirmed the incident in an interview with journalists.

Although Isah could not disclose the exact amount stolen, he said some of the suspects were already in police custody.

“Yes, it’s true that some money was alleged to have been stolen as you have asked. We have already reported the matter to the police for investigation. I can not tell you the exact figure now, but those in the best position will give you more updates, please,” he said.

However, sources told our reporter that over N31 million was stolen.

While some of the suspects were still in police custody as at the time of filing this report, others were freed, but it was unclear whether they were released on bail or allowed to leave based on their innocence.
