Men of the Department of State Security
(DSS) and the Army on Tuesday, January 5, invaded the residence of
Eziuche Ubani, a former federal lawmaker from Abia State, Eziuche Ubani,
located at Opobo road to search for arms he allegedly hid.
"At about 1a.m, I woke up to a noise and
upon checking for the source, I saw that my house had been surrounded by
armed people in both mufti and military uniforms. I was with a friend,
Prince. Aware of the history of violence in Aba, we didn’t open the door
and so they decided to force it open but when they couldn’t, they went
to the boy’s quarter and seized my driver. He was beaten to give
information about my whereabouts but he refused.
"They said there was a petition of arms storing and training of young
men to assassinate people in Aba, particularly those belonging to APGA,
against me. I told them to get on with the search because I know I am
innocent.
"The raid lasted until 6a.m and during the search, they kept calling
their boss that they couldn’t find anything. Before they finally left,
they made note to say they found nothing incriminating and took nothing
away.
"I know that this has to do with the inordinate ambition of Alex Otti
to rule Abia by hook or crook. On Sunday, I was going to Senator
Enyinnaya Abaribe’s house when my phone rang. It was Ahamdi Nweke who
contested the Abia Central Senatorial seat against former governor Orji.
He said he learnt I held two meetings to plan his death, the last being
Saturday.
"Later someone showed me a petition on facebook, sent to the
Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General (IGP); it was written
by Ahamdi Nweke and claiming I was plotting to kill him.
"I did not regard the matter, not until this morning when the
security agencies stormed my home. I have inquired and learnt they acted
without the consent of the Commissioner of Police, the Brigade (14
Brigade, Ohafia) Commander in-charge of this area.
"So, who are those people? The only time the DSS and Army will go to
your house is when you have breached national security bordering on
treason. I want to know what the Chief of Army Staff and their sponsors
had in mind for sending them to invade my privacy in the name of
searching for arms."
When contacted, Ahamdi Nweke said he submitted his petition to the
Commissioner of Police, Joshiak Habila, yesterday, after the search,
stressing that the DSS and soldiers may have acted on intelligence and
not his petition.
Police spokesman Ezekiel Onyeke Udeviotu who confirmed the raid said
the Ogbor hill police station, after receiving a distress call mobilised
its personnel to the ex-lawmaker’s house.
The government of Abia State has condemned the invasion of Eziuche
Ubani’s home, describing it as unwarranted and unacceptable and
requested an apology from the security agencies
involved, because according to it, government was embarrassed by the
action.
Addressing reporters at Ubani’s residence, Commissioner for
Information Bonnie Iwuoha said the government demands an explanation for
the invasion and called on sponsors of disturbances to stop forth with as
government will not condone violence in any guise, stressing that
security agencies are on alert to avoid such.
