Armed policemen raided the Ondo
residence of Kingsley Kuku, former special adviser to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan on Niger Delta.
A source who revealed this said
the policemen arrived the residence at Arogbo, Ese-Odo local government area of
Ondo state, around 3pm on Thursday.
He said the security operatives,
numbering at least 30, opened fire, sparking tension in the community.
They were said to have forcefully
broken into all the rooms in the house.
“After combing all the rooms in
the house in a commando style, they left without anything incriminating,” the
source said.
“The operation lasted for an
hour. Nobody was arrested. They left after destroying a lot of things.”
Femi Joseph, spokesman of the state
police command, could not be reached for comments as of the time this report
was filed.
In 2015, the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited Kuku, who is currently in the US,
for questioning on several occasions but he failed to honour the invitations.
The anti-graft agency has not
taken any further action on the matter since then, citing a court order
restraining it from doing so.
However, the DSS allegedly
accused the EFCC of shielding the former presidential aide, whom the agency
wanted for interrogation.
The secret police alleged that
Kuku was behind some of the militant activities in the Niger Delta.
But he denied the claim, saying
the agency was desperate to arrest to him so as to give him the “Dasuki
treatment”.
