Matawalle’s house invasion: Court gives 24 hours to police to return items

Recall that the police along with personnel from the DSS and NSCDC, had on June 9 this year, invaded the former governor’s two private residences in Gusau and Maradun, carting away vehicles and personal belongings of the governor and those of his family members on the orders of a lower court.

In the suit number FHC/GS/CS/30/2023 filed by counsel to Matawalle, N S Na’Ige Esq., the court in its sitting, presided over by Justice AB Aliyu, directed the respondents in the case to return all the vehicles and other items as well as a written inventory of the items removed and bring them under the custody of the court, pending the determination of the applicant’s substantive originating motion in the matter which comes up on the 28th of this month.
