The Public Relations Officer PRO of the Nigeria Police Force, Jimoh
Moshood, has denied claims by Senator Danjuma Goje, that some of its
officers removed some of the 2017 budget documents during a search of
his Asokoro house in Abuja last Thursday April 20th.
Yesterday, Goje
told his colleagues during plenary that the police during the search of
his home, carted away some of the 2017 budget documents(Read here)
However,
the police PRO was a guest on Channels TV this morning where he denied
the claims made by Senator Goje. According to Jimoh, the police had gone
to Goje’s house to search the property following a tipoff that some
stolen funds and documents were to be moved from the house.
Jimoh stated
that the police arrived the premises and met three persons including
Goje’s nephew, his housekeeper and step daughter who all signed behind
the search warrant. Jimoh stated that 38 files were removed from Goje’s
house and not one of the documents is related to the 2017 budget
“No
single document relates to the 2017 budget and mind you the budget had
been with them for months. Nobody is above the law and nobody is above
his house being searched when we have on reasonable grounds that
incriminating items or stolen funds are kept there.
I
want to say that the search warrant exhiited for Senator Dajuma Goje’s
house has nothing to do with the 2017 budget. We didn’t go out there to
search for the budget. No budget document was sighted and no budget
document was removed”he said
