Former Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has said most of his vehicles taken away by the security agencies from his two houses in Gusau and Maradun were bought before he became a governor.
Matawalle was reacting to Friday’s invasion of his home by security consisting of police and the Department of State Services (DSS).
Royal FM had reported how operatives moved straight to the former governor’s residence and started evacuating the vehicles. However, speaking to BBC Hausa on Saturday, Matawalle accused the security agents of looting the personal belongings of his wives and children, including clothing materials.
He said he was not issued with a copy of the court order which allowed the security agents to invade his houses as claimed by his successor, Dauda Lawal. He said some of the vehicles impounded at his residence in Maradun were donated by well-wishers and were all branded with the images of President Tinubu and himself.
Matawalle said he would not ask the security agents or the state government to return the vehicles, concluding, “I will however follow an appropriate channel as stipulated by the law.”
