Katsina State Police Commissioner Usman Abdulahi yesterday confirmed Yusuf Sarkin Gada’s arrest.
Gada, who is said to have been with the Yar’Adua family for over 40 years, is believed to have all the keys to the rooms and sensitive sections of the house in Katsina.
It was not immediately clear if the theft was committed at once or in bits.
Abdullahi, who spoke with reporters in Katsina, said: “We are investigating. Actually, it will surprise you to know that the man has been serving the family for over 40 years
“And the key to that house is in his custody. There are materials and even raw cash that got missing.
“If I give you the key to a room where I keep things and when I come back and I cannot see those things, who will I ask?
“In fact, the rough estimate of some parts of the items is about N91,400,000. I don’t want to say more.
“We received a formal complaint, we invited Gada and we are investigating.”
Asked if he was in detention, the CP simply said: “We are investigating.”
