Matawalle stated these in an interview with BBC Hausa adding that it was “stupidity” and “poverty” that caused his houses to be entered into by operatives. SaharaReporters on Friday reported that the Nigeria Police Force stormed the residence of Matawalle, and recovered over 40 vehicles.

Confirming the development in a statement, Sulaiman, Bala Idris, the spokesperson of the state governor, Dauda Lawal-Dare, had revealed that the police acted on a court order and a search warrant was obtained for the operation. “Consequently, the police sought a search warrant which was duly given by the court and hence raided Matawalle’s residence in Gusau, Maradun Local Government, and another unidentified hideout.”
“Instead of Dauda to face Zamfara problems, he wants to create another crisis because he knows I have my people and they will not fold their hands. Also, Deyemi Saka, Media and Public Relations Consultant to Matawalle, described the move on the ex-governor as an illegal invasion.
