The Nigerian Police Force has claimed that the raid on Edwin Clark's home is illegal and the five persons involved in the “unauthorised” search conducted at the home of the prominent Niger-Delta leader, have been detained.

Police spokesperson Jimoh Moshood said in a statement Tuesday night that not only was the raid illegal, the Inspector-General Ibrahim Idris has ordered immediate apprehension of the four officers and an informant who were identified as having participated in it.

“The Inspector-General of Police is not aware and did not order the raid of the residence of the Elder Statesman, Chief Edwin Clark,” Mr Moshood said while reacting to the Vanguard’s version of the story.

“Consequently,” Mr Moshood said, Mr Idris directed the detention and investigation of those involved.

“The outcome of the investigation will definitely be made public,” he said.

Mr Clark, considered one of the most influential leaders of the Niger Delta was a major backer of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan who lost the 2015 election to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mr Clark and other Niger Delta leaders, as well as some other Southern leaders, have since then been clamouring for a restructuring of the Nigerian federation.

In his reaction the to raid on his home, he wondered how a government would believe a 92-year-old man like him would stockpile arms and ammunition at home.

Useless police

Those policemen are the new Lawal daura

Next time you will not attack Trump again. They are some police seniors loyal to America diplomats; they will come after you and there is nothing police chief can do to them!Even Ig was surprised because Clarke has been pro Buhari.

Heheheh

Interesting development.

one day one drama and one lie to cover up it's outcome

Ehen Ehen! A couple of police officers just woke up today and decided to raid an Elder State man's house.
Na so! Shebi we we are phuls abi?
I hope the poor man isn't traumatised by the whole incident.

This is serious, what will then happen if it were to be a common man.
Totally unacceptable.

fear of militants

Na today...

Na today police dey lie

Serial bunglers. Daft propagandists. Self acclaimed saints. Betrayers of trust. I could go on; but why bother... Daura straight... 2019.

Bolusticus:


President Buhari should do the needful and sack this IGP.

Very Useless man. He knows he can't be sacked that's why he is doing all these.

Another script loading.....
Waiting to see who the Producer and Executive Producer are.

To be honest I won't be surprised if they went to the man's house to plant ammunitions. Shebi it is Nigerian Police.

No mind them , damage control mode activated.
This administration and pmb is very confused

When it fails, the look for scape goats.

We are truly living in dangerous times if all our security personnel now act on their own.

That means they might decide to go shoot buhari since they are no longer taking orders.

Homeboiy:
who sent them in the first place?

Saraki

But if it was illegal, a superior officer sent them. Well, they can find a way to cover their own and still declare to the public that they have been d:%%%

So some police officers can just wake up and go and raid Edwin Clark's house without orders?

Another order from above?

Chai..gone are the days I can believe anything from our security forces, the police especially.

These idiots just realized the hot soup they've jumped into and thus this damage control.

I believe that having considered the plausibility of churning out a story linking the Man to arms and the ensuing public backlash.. not to talk of the tension it will generate in the Niger Delta, the yeye idris, jimo moshood and his attack digs decided to shelve the while idea under "illegal", "unauthorised" bla bla bla.

They think its anybody that they can intimidate.

kitikpa rachaakwa ha anya!!!!
