Yenagoa—No fewer than 200 vehicles, belonging to Bayelsa State Government, have been allegedly carted away by political appointees who served in the immediate past administration of Governor Timipre Sylva.

It was gathered that most of the former governor’s aides had failed to hand over vehicles in their possession.

Governor Seriake Dickson, according to a source, had insisted that his administration would not procure new vehicles but ensure that vehicles allegedly carted away by Sylva’s political appointees and aides were recovered.

“Virtually all the vehicles in the fleet of the Government House, had been driven away by Sylva’s aides, shortly before the Supreme Court sacked the administration,” the source said, adding, “right now, all the new appointees of the governor have no official cars and the governor had ruled out plans to purchase new onesS.”

Troubled by the development, Dickson had, about a week after assumption of office, set up a task force saddled with the responsibility of recovering all the government vehicles and property in the custody of former political appointees.

Commenting on the alleged refusal by Sylva’s aides to return their official vehicles, the Senior Special Assistant to the Bayelsa Governor on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, in a statement in Yenagoa, said: “Till date, the Committee on Vehicle Recovery has only recovered 15 vehicles out of over 200 or more vehicles in the Government House fleet

“The committee wouldn’t have been set up if political appointees had done the right thing by returning government property in their possession.”

Sylva and aides are thieves

Rubbish! As if they wouldn't do likewise if they were to be in their shoes. Too hell with all of ya.

I weep for Nigeria-my country!same way some Senators carted away Air-conditioners and other electronics after their tenure ended in the last political dispensation..

Hilarious..Funny Country...

abey2: some Senators carted away Air-conditioners and other electronics

after allocating Millions to themself...

200 Vehicles na wa ooh. Could be full of money when they were carted away.

Could be possible that the vehicles were monitised for the Aides. Their thieving in Goverment has no shame and category.

What a way to go about "serving the people"

Hmmmm!!!

Don't forget that bleaching minister that decided to cart away (carry away) a whole generator powering a huge complex like the National Stadium and that actually began the final decline of the Iconic National stadium.

The guy just take his chance. If na you wetin you sef go do.

No be new thing na, since Alams, JEG, now Sylva na so e be. What about the government supported transport vehicles we disappear within 1month?

Dem just want to witch hunt Sylva supporters.

This country is just sadly funny,so much drama everywhere.

This is no issue.

Vehicles are much more tangible than cash. Let the police do their job and track and recover the vehicles from whosoever they have been given/sold to. The two impossible recovery scenarios are if any has gone across the border and complete write-off as a result of accident or "butchering" (mbuka & owode onirin)

I think that was Nwobodo (as was reported). OLE.

He took it away for "burial". Hiss.

nigeria is a failed state.

yorke: Rubbish! As if they wouldn't do likewise if they were to be in their shoes. Too hell with all of ya.

It is folks like you that make this country a failure. Are you now saying he should look the other way and just splash the cash on new vehicles instead. Please shut the hell up if you have nothing constructive to say. Nigeria will remain backward if it has retards like you in positions of power.

Lol @ Murano. Maybe you would put those among your car collection if you are in such a position. Hahaha.... Maybe he is going to use them for public taxi cab?

http: What a way to go about "serving the people"

Serve which people? When you work in a company, do you claim to serve the company? These public office holders pay themselves many times over what they'd have earned if they worked in the civil or private sector.

So there is nothing like service in what they do. Nigeria's politics is extremely dirty and selfish.

If those guys in Bayelsa could abscond with Government House, they would have. Who is going to stop them? Is it the 'ever loyal' policemen who run errands for them?

You can forget about Government accounts to which they were signatories. This is incredible. Jonathan's Nigeria.

Abegii make we hear word!! Yeye ppl too ful 4 nairaland. See d way una dey talk as if una no go do worse if una dey 4 dia position. Abi u no knw wetin dem b dey cal natiönal cake ne?

National Cake!

Absconded with 200 vehicles? really? . . . funny country

If Dickson has any brains at all, there will be a daily rental charge applied for everyday beyond the official day of handover.

Charge each mudafcker about N60K for every day beyond the day they are suppose to handover. If they don't pay, seize their property in the state. Let them spend more money going to court if they dare. Let them have battles with the government for months.

Let them have headache for their wrong doing. Make their lives a nightmare.

Great idea, Sagamite! How dare they take government property away?

Are the car been ride on nigeria air or water ? That they can recover them
