Former Vice President Dr. Bawumia’s ADC’s Residence Raided by National Security Operatives
Controversial Raid Raises Concerns Over Legitimacy and Human Rights Violations
- National Security operatives raided DSP Issahaku Yakubu’s home without an official warrant
- The operatives caused extensive damage
- The removal of CCTV hard drives has raised concerns
The home of DSP Issahaku Yakubu, the former Vice President’s Aide, was violently raided yesterday by individuals claiming to be National Security operatives.
This unexpected raid has raised questions about the actions of the security forces, as it appeared to be conducted without cause or an official warrant.
The raid occurred in the early morning hours when the operatives arrived unannounced and began their aggressive actions.
Witnesses reported that the operatives used force to break down the gate of the residence, despite the lack of prior notice or a clear explanation for their actions. Once inside, the operatives proceeded to destroy the doors to the main bedrooms, further escalating the situation.
Inside the home, the damage was extensive.
The operatives reportedly ransacked the rooms, scattering personal belongings and causing considerable destruction. Even the contents of a mini mosque within the house were not spared from the chaos.
This has raised serious concerns about the nature of the raid and whether it was executed with proper legal or ethical justification.
Additionally, the operatives removed the hard drive of the CCTV cameras from the premises.
This has sparked further questions about the reasons for the raid and whether the footage was targeted in an attempt to hide any evidence of the raid itself.
The individuals involved in the raid were reportedly wearing no visible identification and did not provide any explanation for their actions at the time.
This lack of transparency has led to suspicions about the legitimacy of the raid and its true purpose.
Some observers believe the actions may have been politically motivated, given DSP Yakubu’s past association with former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The event has sparked outrage among the public, with calls for clarification from the government and National Security. The lack of explanation and the violent nature of the raid have raised concerns about respect for human rights and the rule of law in the country.
As of now, there has been no official statement from National Security regarding the raid.
