Security Operatives Storm Matawalle’s Residence, Impound Vehicles
Security operatives
have reportedly stormed the residence of the former governor of Zamfara State
Maradun Matawalle and impounded several vehicles.
One resident of
Maradun who pleaded anonymity said that the surety agents came in large numbers
and they con sisters of the Police and DSS. They invaded the home of the former
governor and jacked up many vehicles which they took to the police station
located in the town.
The source revealed that
immediately after the security agents arrived in Maradun, they went straight to
Matawalle`s residence and started evacuating the vehicles.
“The security
agents who were mostly in police uniforms came to the former Governor’s
resident in the afternoon of today Friday and forced the gate opened,” the
source added.
“They went into the house, removed several
vehicles, and took them to the police station here in Maradun town”.
The
Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) while reacting to
the incident condemned it and described it as an invasion.
Yusuf Idris the Zamfara APC spokesman in a
statement said the invasion was a gross violation of sections 34, 35, 37, 41,
42, and 43 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
He argued that “the police and the DSS have
acted wrongly and could be accused of being political in their actions.
“We call on the Nigerian Police Force and Department of
State Service (DSS) as a matter of urgency, to take a decisive stand against
this misadventure by Zamfara State Government, and the perpetrators must be
identified and made to face the dire consequences of their action.”
According to him, most of the vehicles
parked inside the former Governor’s residence have been evacuated.
“The vehicles are his vehicles and some of the
campaign vehicles used during the election period, I don’t know why security
agencies without court warrants would do such a thing,” he added.
All efforts to reach the Zamfara State Police
Command spokesman, Yazid Abubakar, failed as his phone was switched off. The
DSS has also not commented on the matter.
