Burglars raided the residence of the President’s Chief of Staff (CoS), Professor Ibrahim Gambari, in the vicinity of the presidential villa in Abuja. They tried to break into the house at 3 a.m. on Monday but were evidently unsuccessful.

Mallam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, confirmed the report in a couple of tweets Monday evening, saying there was indeed an unsuccessful attempt to burgle Gambari’s home, which is situated within the Villa district, a short distance away from the State House, Abuja.

On his verified twitter handle, @GarShehu, the presidential spokesman said; “The Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari has confirmed that there “was a foolish attempt” to burgle his residence at 3:00am this morning but it turned out to be unsuccessful.

“Professor Gambari, whose house is on a street next to the Villa has assured that there is nothing to worry about from the incident.
