Just when you think there's nothing else that can shock you in this our beloved Nigeria,something else springs up like it was straight out of a Stephen King thriller.I just finished reading this extremely silly,but 'sad' story.Mrs.Kemi Alao-Akala,wife of the Oyo state Governor, had gone to the Murtala Muhammed Airport yesterday en route to Abuja.At some point,while she was in the VIP lounge,the sum of N56k was stolen from the first lady's bag.Do you know that the security officials attached to her/the airport turned the entire building upside down in search of this 'tremendous' amount of money?In fact,the stern-faced men even asked the airport authorities to provide the last 2 days of CCTV footage,in their devoted quest to find the culprit.2 days!!!!That's 48hrs worth of recording,guys.Are some of us stupid or what?Were they expecting to find evidence of the petty thief camped in the airport lounge since saturday evening or something?With all due respect,while N56,000 isn't exactly chicken change,i doubt many would have gone through 2 days of vigil in a 'secure' location like an airport's VIP lounge just to steal that.Honestly,i think there are some aliens amongst us in this country.Was it all part of the usual sycophancy that made the SS dudes scatter the airport i.e trying to impress the woman or to appear as hard-working?If it was say an assasination attempt on a VIP/top government official,i can swear they would be the first to duck for cover,probably under the nearest stool or table they could find.As at press time,the money was,'shockingly',yet to be found.Please lord,help our citizens to get serious.Seriously.

Won't besurprised if it was the security officials attached to her that took the money!
Very possible..and the overexurberance in searching for it could have just been a smokescreen..lol
am not surprised at what happened or what is happening in Oyo state generally . I am fortunate to be from Oyo state but unfortunate that that this is happening . but am sure very soon those illiterates would be flushed out of politics in Oyo state. its soo shameful how could they have asked for the CCTV footage for the past 2 days and held turned the airport upside down . I mean that is crazy!
lauhing too loud to say anything. I love this country.
Look at the other side - at least we know the CCTV's are working, the video recordings are stored for some time too.
They are probably functional because it's the VIP/Presidential lounge
This goes to show a country with no laws,and most importantly no class.In my own world of New York,thats the job of the airport security and not that of her personal aides.Imagine the security aides who can't protect 56k in thier bosses bag,protect the citizens.Shame on her so called excelency and her aide's for letting out such an embarassing incident.
