King A.J Turner was a very close associate of former president
Goodluck Jonathan.




Operatives of the Directorate of State Security (DSS) raided the
Maitama residence of Bayelsa state monarch, King A.J Turner,
on Monday, February 8.

The operatives reportedly carted away some documents,
including insignificant amount of dollars, pound sterling, naira
and rupee.

Although the DSS is yet to disclose why it raided the
monarch’s residence, it might be connected with his closeness
with former president Goodluck Jonathan.

According to Leadership, the operatives carted away the
following items: 60 pieces of £50 note; 46 pieces of £20 note;
113 pieces of $100 note; N5,000; 230 Indian rupee;
complimentary cards of TRENUR Nigeria Ltd; 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; a
document on campaign fund-raising; some documents on
financial transactions amongs.

In a swift reaction, the Committee for Defence of Democracy
(CDD) condemned the raid describing it as abuse of power and
rights.

The CDD made a statement in which it issued a 24-hour
ultimatum to the DSS to desist from a glaring war against
allies of the former president.

The committee also wondered what could warrant the raid of
the monarch’s residence if not political vendetta.

“Consequent upon the latest action of the DSS invading the
residence of King A.J Turner, the civil society situation room is
issuing a 24-hour ultimatum to the DSS to desist from this
glaring war against the South-south region, particularly allies
of Jonathan.


“If so much honour and respect can be accorded to the
traditional institutions in the North and Yoruba land, same
institutions in the South-south cannot be subjected to ridicule
in the name of political vendetta,” the statement read.
In September 2015, operatives of the DSS raided the
government house in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital.

Shortly after the incidenet, the state House of Assembly
described the raid as an “act of felony, persecution and
political vendetta,” and threatened to drag the DSS to court.
