A Federal High Court in Gusau, Zamfara State, has ordered the police and six others to produce properties seized from the state’s immediate past governor, Bello Mohammed Matawalle.
Politics Nigeria earlier reported that security agencies raided Matawalle’s residences and seized properties that included many luxury cars.
Ruling on an ex parte motion on Thursday, Justice Aminu Bappa Aliyu, directed officers of the security agencies involved in the raid of Matawalle’s residences in Gusau and Maradun to produce a comprehensive inventory of all vehicles and personal properties of Matawalle and his family members taken away within 48-hours.
The former governor brought the motion against the police, the Inspector General of Police, the Commissioner of Police, Zamfara State; State Security Service (SSS), Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and Attorney General of the Federation.
The court ordered the security agencies to produce and domicile the properties within the court premises and under the control of the Deputy Chief Registrar, Federal High Court, Gusau Judicial Division, pending determination of the applicant’s substantive originating motion in this matter.
The case was adjourned to June 28 for hearing.
