Policeman who allegedly burgled Jonathan’s home gets N7m bail

One of the policemen who allegedly burgled the Abuja home of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Musa Musa, was on Tuesday granted N7 million bail by a magistrate court in Wuse, Abuja.

Musa Musa and other policemen were arraigned before the court presided over by Justice Mabel Segun-Bello on Tuesday, by the FCT police command.

Granting the bail, Bello said it was “granted to allow the accused attend trial. Where it is perceived that the accused may jump bail, he may be denied.”

Former President Jonathan had alerted the FCT police command of the alleged action of the policemen, who he hired to guard the property situated at Fourth Avenue, Gwarimpa.

Upon investigation, it was confirmed and the policemen were arrested for burgling and carting away all valuable items in the house.

He said the house was stripped bare by the burglars.

A statement issued by Ikechukwu Eze, spokesman for former President Jonathan, had said that “the house, which the former president bought from CITEC estate developers in 2004, was totally stripped bare by the thieves who stole every movable item in the house including furniture sets, beds, electronics, toilet and electrical fittings, as well as all internal doors and frames.”
