According to him, “Unfortunately for him, he shut the light of my office but I was able to on it, I set my cameras. Live I could see him online…He used different keys but I could see from the camera, he was struggling to open the door.
“And this was less than 15 minutes when I closed from the office. Basically he was monitoring my movement. There and then we now saw how he came into the office. We have all the videos.”
The lawmaker added that since the thief is a staff to a member of the House, his principal has been contacted, noting that “it will be unfair for me to take any action or allow anybody to take any action without the consent of his principal.”
