Godwin Isenyo, Kaduna
The senator representing Southern Kaduna Senatorial District, Danjuma Laah, has said the police raided his Kaduna residence without a search warrant.
The senator, who said the police operatives, forced their way into his home at about 5am, described the search on his house as “destructive.”
He equally claimed that the policemen went away with his gun, which he said he obtained with a licence in 2008.
Laah added, “They (police) they took away a pump-action gun with its official permit granted me since 2008.”
In a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Thursday, the senator stated, “This morning, March 9, 2017, my Kaduna residence was invaded by armed policemen, MOPOL and plain-clothed men, numbering about a hundred.
“They came in trucks, buses and pick-up vans around 5am, forced my security man at gunpoint to open the gate and without tendering any search warrant from any court of law, started a destructive search on my house.
“They used knives to tear open my furniture, broke louvers of my doors, broke and tossed things around and destroyed the delicately plastered ceiling of my bedroom and entered the roof.
“My two nephews, Friday Batan and Samson Tanko, who were in the house were manhandled by the armed security personnel and taken away to an unknown place. I have yet to establish contact with them.
“Also my wristwatches, expensive jewellery, belonging to my wife, were carted away.”
