Armed security personnel on Friday stormed the residence of the immediate past Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Mattawalle.
They stormed the premises located in the former governor’s hometown of Maradun and evacuated several vehicles.
A resident of Maradun said the security agents consisted of police and the Department of State Services (DSS) invaded Matawalle’s home on Friday afternoon where they jacked up many vehicles and took them to the police station in the town.
According to the source, immediately after the security agents arrived in Maradun, they moved straight to the former Governor’s residence and started evacuating the vehicles.
Zamfara State Police Command spokesman, Yazid Abubakar, and The DSS have not commented on the matter.
The development comes days after Matawalle’s successor, Dauda Lawal, accused him of moving official vehicles and other items from the Government House before handing over the state’s leadership.
