Okungbowa disclosed that within 24 hours of the committee’s existence, it had recovered three vehicles in a private residence.
The committee chairman, who spoke to journalists on Friday on the success of his committee within 24 hours, said the three vehicles included one Hilux van and two Toyota Hiace buses.
He said some palliatives which should have been shared to Edo people was discovered in one of the Toyota Hiace buses the committee recovered, adding that the palliatives, include bags of garri and rice of 10kg and 25kg.
He appealed for more information from members of the public, saying it was the information earlier obtained that led to the recovery of the three vehicles.
Okungbowa also assured whistleblowers that a handsome reward awaited them provided their information was correct and verifiable.
He said, “We have recovered one Hilux and two Toyota Hiace buses in private custody. We assure Edo people and the state government that we are going to do the job to the best of our ability. We will make sure we recover all the stolen vehicles.
“Report reaching us is that we have over 200 government vehicles missing. We appeal for more information as the whistleblowers will be handsomely rewarded.
“This is not private property but the property of Edo citizens, and it is not good for a private individual to steal government property.
“These vehicles were recovered from one person’s house. Palliatives were recovered from the Toyota Hiace bus as some garri and bags of rice were kept in the bus.”
