Some government officials at Katsina state Governor’s office have been arrested over the theft of an unspecified amount of money at the Governor’s office on Sunday night.

It was also learnt that the theft occurred on Sunday night during rainfall from the office of the governor of Katsina state.

Isah told journalists ” Those suspected to be involved have been arrested by the police. Investigation has already commenced. But, I don’t know the amount alleged to have been stolen.”

Insiders further revealed that the image of a man who stole the money was captured by the Closed Circuit Camera installed at the Financial Controller’s office at the Governor’s office.

One of the sources revealed, “The thief was seen on the CCTV at the Financial Controller office. He entered the office through the window. He was also seen leaving the office with a large sack which he kept the money inside.”

Attempts for comments or clarification from the spokesman for the Katsina police command, SP Gambo Isah, were unsuccessful.

Recall that a civil servant in the state had last month lost N61 million in a daylight robbery that occurred within katsina town.

The police command said then that there was a “conspiracy theory” in the incident.
