Security operatives said to be men of the Nigerian police raided a guest house owned by Dep. Sen. President Ike Ekweremadu on Friday.
Nothing was found in the house located on Ganges Street in the Maitama District of Abuja when it was raided 8 am.
Uche Anichukwu, Ekweremadu’s spokesperson, said the action was carried out by the “Inspector-General of Police’s Special Squad”.
