The recent raid of the office of former Nigerian vice president, Namadi Sambo has infuriated Sambo’s lawyers, who felt that it was improper for the EFCC to break into the office of their client without a valid search warrant.
In response to the development, the lawyers, yesterday, fired a strongly worded letter of protest to the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, asking him to direct his men to repair the destroyed property in the office.
But the EFCC is reported to have left behind three armed policemen to guard the place until the doors and other damaged property were repaired.
A source close to the former vice president confirmed last night that they were trying to get in touch with him and brief him on the ugly development.
The source said: “I think the EFCC operatives were disappointed that they could not find any reasonable amount of money or any serious evidence of corruption against the former president.
“They had thought that the former vice president had taken some money to the office which they could take as evidence against him. But they were disappointed as they did not get anything tangible from the office,” the source said. (Vanguard Ngr)
