In a morning operation, a group of policemen conducted a raid at the residence of Bello Matawalle, the former governor of Zamfara State, located in Maradun. The police officers stated that their objective was to search for cars.
However, Femi Fani-Kayode, a prominent figure who expressed his dismay on his Twitter page, revealed that the police conducted the raid without possessing a search or arrest warrant.
Furthermore, they claimed to be acting under the orders of the new governor, Dauda Lawal. This development has sparked outrage and is being condemned for its unacceptable, vindictive, and lawless nature.
The raid on the former governor’s house has raised concerns regarding the legality and justification of the operation. The absence of a search or arrest warrant has led to questions about the police officers’ actions and their adherence to due process. Femi Fani-Kayode’s criticism highlights the severity of the situation and emphasises the need for accountability and respect for the rule of law.
This incident represents a troubling manifestation of potential political retribution as it involves the actions of the new governor targeting his predecessor. The use of law enforcement agencies to settle political scores is highly condemned, as it undermines the principles of democracy and the fair administration of justice.
As news of the raid spreads, public opinion is increasingly turning against the police operation and calling for an investigation into the matter. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that law enforcement agencies operate within the boundaries of their authority.
