Armed robbers operating on a motorbike on Monday attacked the Chief Accountant of Delta State Government House, Asaba, Mr Michael Oghene, taking away over N50 million from him, though no government official could confirm the exact amount.

The two-man bandit attacked the accountant at about 11am, at the popular Inter Bau roundabout, when he was returning from one of the new generation banks, where he went to cash the money.

He had two Ghana-must-go bags containing money inside the booth of his 207 Peugeot car with registration number DTGH 736, but the robbers succeeded in taking away one of the bags. The money, the Nigerian Tribune gathered, was meant for the monthly impress for the Government House.

Eyewitness account said the two young men carrying sophisticated weapons opened fire on Oghene as he approached Inter Bau Junction, ordering him to stop.

The robbers were said to have gone straight for the booth of the car, fired some shots again at it, apparently in a bid to force it open, after which they forcefully took away the Ghana-must-go bag, containing the money.

Mr Oghene, who is the director of finance of Government House, and the second occupant in the car were taken to Government House clinic for medical attention.

What rubbish!!!

In this day and age, why do officials have carry such cash?

Money cannot be tranferred electronically to service providers?

And the retarded journalist I bet is making stories up about what happened. Robbers shot at boot instead of using key? Na hollywood film?

Na joke. Who dey carry that kind money without able security or na deal?

Dont mind them, abeg. It is either the man 'planned' this with some hoodlums or someone close to him organized the steal. Secondly, maybe they were carrying the cash to go and use in bribing some people or probably to rent-a-crowd for some Uduaghan rally (re-election).


Lastly, imagine the statement ''though no government official could confirm the exact amount''. Maybe it is more than N50million, who knows?

IDIOTS.

Come to think of it, from the man's surname, I know for sure he is probably a member of the Ibori and Uduaghan extended family. So I would not be surprised if he is participating in his family member remaining as governor so he can retain his position and loot.

inside job, do some water boarding on the basta*d he would starting singing like a yo-yo.

Abeg wetin be saharareporters or EFCC contact details, maybe they can find out wetin be this guy relationship with Uduaghan.

I am beginning to feel this was planned so they avoid looting directly like Ibori.

Why would officials be withdrawing such sums from a bank in this day and age of electronic transfer.

They should be investigated and made to explain why they needed to withdraw and not use a bank's services.

Wey EFCC.

i can bodly bet with you, that accountant planned the crime.
In 10years, he won't be able to possess 50million or whatever millions in the bag. It is his opportunity to take risk once and hammer big time.
I trust Deltans most especially the warri tribes. Dem no dey fukk up

I was an eye witness. Immediately the robbers left, passers-by pounced on the left over cash. Some made away with 600k, 500k, 50k, 200k etc. But fear no let me near there!!!

But as @ this morning police raided the houses close to d scene, arresting innocent people 4 the loot of yesterday's left over cash.

Rubbish,

The Stupid ugly governor must be made to pay for it, if this is true. How can he have a system in place were that sort of money is moved around un-escorted. That Uduaghan is a big fool

Police should just leave those people alone. Go an grab Uduaghan, I dislike that man for everything he stands for

the guys should have kidnapped the man also, political thieves.

Moles inside the house. They got the money, they stole the money! Na dem dem. It will amaze you that the money is gone and nobody will be prosecuted. Uptill now the money they stole in NFA is yet to be found. Our Nigeria!

Nigeriaaaaa we hail thee!!!!!

was he walking on foot

N 50million on Okada? What kind of story is this?

[size=14pt]NEWS FLASH:[/size] Court sacks Delta State Governor, Uduaghan, and orders INEC to conduct election within the next 90 days.

Now we know what they need the N50m for.

They must have got hint what the outcome would be. It surely can't be coincidence that the Chief Accountant got robbed a day before the announcement when carrying out a transaction even a cretin would know he should have done electronically and the Chief Accountant is apparently a cousin of the Governor.

@Sagamite,

I said exactly the same thing. They should arrest that Finance guy without delay. There is a big link there, probably they know thier empire is about to crumble, so they decide to loot the treasury dry. Deltans please make una open eye oh, there is a link. Them lot are bloody thieves
