Seized Cars
A Federal High Court sitting in Gusau has ordered the Nigeria Police Force and four other respondents involved in the seizure of vehicles and some other valuables from the residences of former Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle to return them within 48 hours.
Last Friday morning, Policemen stormed the Gusau residence of the former governor.
But hours after the raid, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara said operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and police raided the residences of Matawalle in Gusau and his hometown of Maradun.
The party had accused the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal of a witch-hunt, saying the immediate past governor ought to be charged in court if there is any issue against him.
But in a statement on Wednesday evening, Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the Zamfara Governor, Suleiman Idris, said the government’s stolen property was recovered during the operation.
