July 31, 2017 – GEJ Robbed By Mobile Police Guarding His House In Abuja, 36 Plasma TVs & 25 Refrigerators Stolen
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s Abuja house has been burgled. According to Premium Times, the house was not robbed by thieves, but by police officers assigned to guard the premises.
The Nigeria Police have thus arrested three of its officers for stealing items valued at several millions of naira. The items were alleged to have been stolen from the residence located at No. 89, Fourth Avenue in the Gwarimpa district of Abuja.
They include sets of furniture, dozens of plasma television sets, refrigerators, air-conditioner units and box-loads of clothes such as designer suits imprinted with GEJ’s name, male and female Ijaw traditional attires, lace materials and bowler hats. .
The three mobile police officers conducted a systematic looting over a period of three months beginning from around March 2016, until they totally stripped the house of all movable items, which they sold piecemeal to dealers at the Panteka second-hand materials market in Tipper Garage, Gwarimpa.
By the time family members of the former president were made aware of the looting early this month, the house had been stripped bare. GEJ was said to have personally gone to inspect the property after which he reported the vandalization to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
List of clothes said to have been stolen and sold: 1. Niger Delta traditional attires in about 20 Ghana-must-go sacks. 2. Suits, each one with “President Jonathan” inscribed in the inner side, in five big Ghana-must-go sacks.
3. About 10 big Ghana-must-go sacks of women attires made from lace materials sewn in Niger Delta style. 4. More than 10 bundles of Ankara materials, known as Atamfa. 5. About 10 sets of babban riga. 6. One big Ghana-must-go sack containing clothes with PDP logo neatly sewn on each one. 7. About 20 Niger Delta bowler hats.
Electrical appliances and furniture items: 1. 36 Plasma televisions. 2. About 25 refrigerators. 3. Five sets of furniture. 4. Two sets of sitting room chairs. 5. Several air conditioner units.

Whatever for ?
The Former President should just keep his mouth shut
He’s the master rogue that taught everybody under him how to steal.
Jonathan and his cronies robbed us dry, putting us in the situation we are in today.
mumu don kill una fir this Nigeria.
36 plasma Tvs and 25 refrigerators for inside 1 house? Na hotel ni? On one hand i’m glad that his house was burgled, at least that one go reduce from our money wey dem pack. On the other hand, it’s so disheartning that the house was burgled by our own police that were meant to secure the lives and properties of nigerians.. That is naija for you. I think it is high time they award Idris abdulkareem for the song he sang back then title ”nigeria jaga jaga”. Because this song actually tell the story of nigeria, especially now.
Ole gbe, ole gba! They are birds of the same feather. Looters, thieves, armed robbers and 419s are all criminals fom the same father-devil.
Hahaha! So a thief can be robbed by policemen?
Good!! Ole gbe, Ole gba
Tiffery by police assigned to guard the property? Maybe that is what they mean by “taking into safe custody”.
Na wa oo!!!
The police officers took their own share of the national cake. Jonathan robbed Nigeria and his watchmen robbed him. So, who is the actual thief here? See the extent of madness, furnishing one dwelling house with 36 plasma televisions, omo oju o r’ola ri. People who work hard for money don’t display wealth so foolishly.
So Jonathan do have record of all those Ghana must go bags and all stated here as stolen,or the policemen confessed as such?….how about cash? or do they want to say no cash there?
PLEASE RELEASE THE SUSPECT. STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.
What is the problem, Police men took their own. After all he stole 90% of it. What is he doing with 36 TV and 25 fridges. He has just started. Thief.
Here we go again. The police are also feeling the impact of poverty all over the country. Just imagine how these politicians have wreaked our institutions by turning our police officers into personal guards, when in real terms they are supposed to be serving the general public fighting crimes. Nigerians are really comfortable with the way things are. Many of the poor people will prefer to commit suicide rather than standing up for their fundamental rights. No wonder why God said MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Nigerian must wake uk from their slumbers and rise against their oppressors whom they perceived not to be working in their interest.How long will this go on for?? I do hope one day our political leaders will losing sleep over the state of our Nation and do the needful.
