Elder statesman and former
Federal Minister of Information, Edwin Clark, has threatened to take legal
action over the raid on his home by men of the Nigeria Police on Tuesday.
Recall that officers
from a unit called the IGP’s Special Tactical Squad, stormed his residence in
Abuja, with a warrant to search for weapons.
Giving an account of the
incident, Clark said, “At about 12:30 pm some people came to me that policemen
were waiting for me, I asked, what for? They said they had a warrant to search
my house. I asked them to come in.
“Some were outside and I learned
they came with two vans.
“I asked them, do you know me? I
am an old man going to 92, I have been a Federal Minister of Information, been
a senator and you think that I’m piling weapons?
“I told them to go ahead with
their search. They searched all the rooms but found nothing. They wrote their
report and asked three of my people to sign and they left”, he said.
Clark described the incident as
an embarrassment, adding that he would not be intimidated by anyone.
“This is a total embarrassment
but nobody can intimidate me. They said they were from the IGP’s Special
Tactical Squad. Well, I have consulted my lawyers,” he added.
