 Edo Declares Over 200 Govt Vehicles Missing, Recovers Three


The committee set up by the Edo government to recover government assets says over 200 vehicles belonging to the state are missing. 


The chairman of the committee Kelly Okungbowa shared the information with journalists in Benin City, the Edo State capital on Friday.

Governor Monday Okpebholo – of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and who recently took over from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government – had set up the committee on Thursday to recover all government vehicles said to be in private custody.
