NDDC: Two employees land in police cell for stealing ‘sensitive documents’

At the weekend, two employees of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, were reportedly caught red-handed while trying to move ‘sensitive documents’ out of the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

Africa Update gathered that one of the suspects came from the Delta State office of the commission while the second employee worked at the commission’s headquarters and were apprehended by the Executive Director, Finance and Administration and the Executive Director, Project.

Though their identities are unknown at the time of this report, the suspects were taken to the Olu Obasanjo Police State for investigation.

An inside source said: “The two directors made a surprise visit to the commission’s headquarters on Saturday. They met some employees and demanded to know what they were doing at the office. They got satisfactory answers from them. “They headed for the third floor of the headquarters and saw two employees coming out of the building and demanded to know their mission. But they could not explain what they were doing at the building.

“One of the directors opted to search their bag and discovered many sensitive documents belonging to the commission. One of the employees came from our Delta State office while the other one works in the head office. They were immediately handed over to the police.”

He said the suspects worked at the Human Resources Department of the commission.
