Unknown persons burgled the office of Newsdiaryonline located at Extension D-49, EFAB Mall in Garki district, Abuja.
A statement by the publisher/editor-in-chief of Newsdiaryonline, Mr. Danlami Nmodu, said those who burgled the office forcefully broke the doorsbefore gainingentrance. They also ransacked some drawers and made away with some vital office items, the statement said.
The publisher said some items removed from the office include laptop computers, 1 generator, 1 LCD television set and electric kettle among other items.
Mr. Nmodu said “surprisingly, the burglars left the internet router and the satellite TV decoder behind apparently because these two items could have made it easier to trace the location of whoeverbroke into our office.”
He said further that “we find the removal of our laptop computers particularly unsettling.”
The editor-in-chief however assured readers and followers of Newsdiaryonline , the fastest growing Nigerian online news organisationthat in spite of this setback, “we shall continue to serve and provide you with credible news ,opinions and analysis without fear or favour.”
