The Police in Abuja, yesterday,
raided a Maitama property believed to be owned by former First Lady, Mrs.
Patience Jonathan. Eye witness accounts said policemen numbering about 20,
stormed the house located on Igbeti Rock Street and forcibly gained entry into
the house after overpowering the single security man keeping guard over the
house. Mrs. Jonathan was not in the house at the time and it could not be
confirmed, as at press time, yesterday, if she lives in the house.
The policemen on arrival were said
to have made enquiries concerning a certain Justice Ahmed, but were informed
that no such person lived in the house. According to sources, the police
forcibly forced themselves into all the rooms in the house and searched through
all the cupboards, wardrobes and fittings in the house.
The police who did not state their
mission, were said to have left about six hours later with an envelope whose
contents were not known.
The eyewitness said that the raid
was about the third time the property had been visited by security agencies
following earlier raids by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
When contacted the Force Public
Relations Officer, DCP Don Awunah, last night for comments on the development,
he did not pick his call.
A text message on the issue had not been
replied as at press time. ASP Anjuguri Manza, Public Relations Officer, Federal
Capital Territory, FCT Police Command, said the command was not aware of the
development.
