VIP protection chief removed after State House security breach

The head of the police’s VIP protection unit, commissioner Michael Abraham, has been removed from his position following a security breach at State House involving an unauthorised intruder.

The unit is an elite division responsible for safeguarding the president, vice president, former presidents, ministers and key state installations.

Police sources over the weekend confirmed that Abraham has since been transferred to the police headquarters, where he has assumed a different role.

His removal follows an incident on 30 April in which Giano Seibeb (29) allegedly gained unauthorised access to State House.

Seibeb was reportedly found naked near the president’s private residence.
