The Chairman of the committee set up to recover vehicles belonging to Edo State government, Kelly Okungbowa, announced on Friday that over 200 vehicles are currently missing, disclosing that within 24 hours of the committee’s existence, it has recovered three vehicles in a private residence.
Okungbowa, who spoke to journalists on the success of his committee within 24 hours, said the three vehicles include one Toyota Hilux van and two Toyota Hiace buses.
He explained that in one of the Toyota Hiace buses, the committee recovered some palliatives, which were meant to be shared to Edo people. He added that the palliatives included bags of garri and rice of 10kg and 25kg.
He, therefore, appealed for more information from members of the public, saying, it was the information earlier obtained that led to the recovery of the three vehicles.
Okungbowa also assured that a handsome reward awaited anyone that could provide them with correct information.
