Bello Matawalle, former governor of Zamfara State, has reacted to the invasion of his two private houses by security agents on Friday, June 9, 2023.
He accused the state government of allegedly robbing his houses and confiscating his personal belongings. On Friday, the Zamfara State Government, led by Dauda Lawal of the PDP confirmed that the security forces entered the two houses of Matawalle in Gusau & Maradun, where they seized 40 vehicles.
However, Matawalle in an interview with BBC Hausa said that it was “stupidity” & “poverty” that caused his houses to be entered, saying that items including his wife’s hijab were stolen. He said, “I have never seen this kind of stupidity where someone’s house will just be entered without any permission as if we are in a lawless country.
