THERE was an uneasy calm at the Government
House, Awka, Anambra State, on Wednesday,
when a horde of monkeys allegedly broke
into the state governor's office and
destroyed some stationery materials
stole sensitive documents and defecated
in his chamberpot.
In a slightly unrelated note, here we
see the Governer with three hands in
his pants.

For some reason disturbed by the situation, the security section at the
Government House paraded civil servants to ascertain the truth.
Our source said midway into the investigation, a security report came,
revealing that about 15 monkeys were seen around the governor's office late
on Tuesday and were reportedly tossing fecal matter.
According to the report, the opening through which the "crime" was committed
was too small to take a human being.
When contacted, a top government official, who did not give his name,
confirmed the report.
According to the government official, they were totemic animals said to be
venerated by traditionalists in the area.
The only statement that could be recorded of the Governer himself was, "They
took my milk maid". We believe this to be some sort of coded message to the
monkeys demanding retrobution for the vandalization of his chamber pot and
well, the return of his milk maid.
When the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Yahaya Bello, was contacted,
he said he had informally heard of the story, but that no official report
had been made to the police.
The DAILY TIMES recalled that about a week ago, a commissioner in the
state was allegedly chased out of his office by a snake but we're currently
trying to figure out what that has to do with this story.
Meanwhile, the securitymen at the Government House had banned workers in the
office from drinking water from the governor's personal source of water supply,
apparently to prevent them from being poisoned.
