The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly stormed
the home of former Vice President, Namadi Sambo, in Kaduna State.
The
security operatives, who came heavily armed like commandos, were said to have invaded
the home of the former vice president around 3:00pm and left at about
5:00pm.
Sambo, who was vice to former President Goodluck Jonathan, had his
home raided by the operatives of the anti-graft agency on Wednesday.
During the operation that lasted for about two hours, it was learnt that
the operatives cordoned off the residence of Sambo located at No 1
Alimi road, Kaduna State, went in and allegedly carried out a search of
the home.An eyewitness account said that they came in three vehicles, a
Coaster bus, Toyota Hilux Van and a Toyota Corolla car, with which they
used to block the entrance to the street where the house is located.
The eyewitness, a residence of the area, told newsmen that the
security officers came with so much fierceness, threatening to deal decisively against any obstruction..
The eyewitness said, “They came at about 3.00pm and left at about
some minutes to 5:00pm. As they came they warned that anybody that moves
would be shot.
“When they came out, they look so rough; evidence that maybe they broke
into some areas (ceiling) in the house. We saw police, SARS, DSS and we
are trying to confirm from them their mission and they told us that they
are here to search.
It was later learnt that the raid at the home was allegedly the fifth
time in three months security operatives would be raiding the house.
Efforts by newsmen as the scene to find out reasons for the raid was
unfruitful as the security agents threatened to shoot anybody that came
close to the house.
