Not many know that HRH King Amalate J. Turner is ex-president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's best friend. Turner, who is the Obanema of Opume Kingdom in Bayelsa State, has known Jonathan since their university days at the University of Port Harcourt. Turner is a former managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission(NDDC). Turner and Jonathan have remained close till date. Sometime back, Turner told CNN that, "The Jonathan I know doesn't rush into making decisions and likes to involve a wide range of people and experts. That process takes time and can appear slow, but that is his style."


On Monday, 9th February 2016, operatives of the Directorate of State Security (DSS) raided the Maitama residence of Turner and carted away some documents, including insignificant amount of dollars, pound sterling, naira and rupees. Although the DSS is yet to disclose why the raid happened while the first-class king was away in Yenagoa in Bayelsa State, it may not be unconnected with his closeness with Goodluck Jonathan.

What the DSS operatives carted away from Turner's residence are:

1) 60 pieces of £50 note;
2) 46 pieces of £20 note;
3) 113 pieces of $100 note;
4) N5,000 (N1000 note);
5) 230 Indian rupee;
6) Complimentary cards of TRENUR Nigeria Ltd – HRH King A.J Turner, 60 Mississippi, Maitama, Abuja;
7) A document containing account numbers of Miss Havi Mabel Turner; Miss Apelega Inengite; A.J Turner and TRENUR Nigeria Ltd;
Income & Expenditure book of M.D Matelbot Oil Nigeria Ltd;
9) A document on campaign fund-raising;
10) Some documents on financial transactions

They should continue.

I just hope all this breaking into people's homes and carting away items in the name of investigation is legally justifiable? Our legal experts and analysts over to you

By the way, Am i the only one who thinks introvert has a habit of always wanting to be FTC

Hmmm.
When DSS does this their so called searches do they always have warrants to search or they just burst into your house without warrant and in your absence.

All Jona's friend don turn suspects. Na wa ooooo. Politricks

Waiting for the result

This is purely a sensational news. I rushed and opened it thinking that I will see something different and it turned out as an absolute hogwash. The total amount of money allegedly recovered is not even up to #5million, which is an amount an ordinary trader can have, not to talk of someone who has a connection with the presidency.

Media Govt.

No Court will permit any security agency to conduct a search in your absent. Even when one is in custody, they duty bound to go with you to witness their conducts.

It shall start to yield dividend to those who had been molest as the court will start ordering fines for infringement.

State of anarchy...

It's a typical act of joblessness and childishness. What is special abt being FTC. There are matured minded people who av always been the first to comment on a post yet they won't announce it. I pray for people with dis kind of small brain to be fully employed. I'm sure by then they will be engaged and be reasonable once in their life.

The recent activities of DSS is really irritating me.

President buari has lost it here.

If APC had won Bayelsa with this man's help, the raid would never have happened.

Even me...as poor as I am, I have something not too far from this in my house at one time.

DSS Just wants to divert people's attention and form as if they are working.

My main concern is whether it is now illegal to keep ANY amount of money in one's possiession?
Is it illegal
