Heavily armed operatives of the Independent Corrupt
Practices and Other Related Offences Commission
(ICPC) stormed the Kaduna residence of former Vice-
President Namadi Sambo on Wednesday.
Accompanied by men of the Department of State
Services (DSS) and state anti-robbery squad (SARS),
officials of the commission spent two hours searching
the house.
A source said the operatives came with a search
warrant which they handed over to the guards they
met there.
The major road leading to the house was blocked
during the operation, subjecting motorists and
passersby to hardship.
“On arrival, they warned that anybody that moved
around would be shot,” a resident said.
Umar Sani, spokesman of Sambo, confirmed that the
officials came with a warrant.
Sani said it was not the first time the house was being
searched.
“This is not the first time they are searching the
house. They have been coming to search the house
on several occasions,” he said.
“Today they came with a court order and gave a copy
of the court order to the CSO (chief security officer) in
the house.”
After they finished the search, they wrote at the back
page of the warrant that they gave to the CSO that
they did not find anything and they left.
