The Rivers State Police Command has arrested two workers of the Niger Delta Development Commission [NDDC] for stealing documents.

The duo were alleged to have sneaked into the NDDC corporate headquarters premises in Port Harcourt to steal some identified, but sensitive documents.

WuzupNigeria gathered that one of the employees was a former Special Assistant to an ex-managing director of the agency.

It was further gathered that the workers came into the NDDC office on Saturday – a nonworking day – and were monitored by security men who later invited the officers at Olu Obasanjo Police Station to arrest them.

“Remember that a former managing director of NDDC was in the news lately and was bragging that the NDDC would be exposed. One of the guys arrested has been sniffing around, just to get sensitive documents,” the Punch quoted a source as saying.

“Today, they saw him coming out with a sensitive document. You know there is no work today. So, what was he looking for inside the NDDC? What they do is that when work has closed, they go around looking for sensitive documents.

“But today, luck ran out od them. From what we gathered, they are working for a former managing director of the commission, who was disgraced out of office. So, the former MD is looking for everything to nail the current management. The two persons arrested are former SA to the former MD.”

According to Sunday Punch, another source said that the two NDDC workers were caught red-handed by the agency’s Executive Director, Project and another Executive Director, Finance and Administration before they (employees) were driven away by security personnel to nearby Olu Obasanjo Police Station.

“They two employees were coming out of the building when the two executive directors met them and demanded to know their mission. But they failed to explain what they were doing inside the building.

“One of them (directors) checked their bags and discovered many sensitive documents belonging to the commission. They were immediately handed over to the police,” the source, who pleaded anonymity, added.
