The Nigeria Police Force said it would arraign Ismail Yakubu, 45, in court on Wednesday for giving false information to the police to carry out a search on Chief Edwin Clark’s residence in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that four policemen on Tuesday illegally carried out a search on the Abuja residence of Clark following information from Yakubu.

The force Spokesman, Acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, disclosed this while presenting the informant to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.

He said that the officer who led the team had been queried while the other three were currently undergoing orderly room trial.

The officers are: ASP David Domnic; Insp. Godwin Musa; Insp. Sada Abubakar and Insp. Yabo Paul.

Moshood added that any police officer carrying out the execution of search warrant must follow the laid down procedures within the law.

“Where such is not followed, such officer must be made to face the consequences of violating the rule of law,”he said.

He said that the police had the statutory right to execute a duly obtained search warrant in any premises where it had actionable intelligence.

Speaking with newsmen, Yakubu, who is from Waru Village in FCT, said he gave the information to the police based on patriotism as a Nigerian.

He said that he was in a taxi along Haile Salesie street , Asokoro, when he was told that a white colour Hilux van loaded with arms was entering the residence of Clark.

“I don’t think I have done anything wrong to have reported the matter to the police,”he said.

The police had apologised to Clark over the unauthorised raid of his residence.

Damage control, Police sabi deny things ehn

Another movie scene

Can you imagine? See how police are disgracing theirselves. You have an Intel (which turns out to be fake) and you couldn't verify it and you acted Immediately by raiding someone's house and harassing the person.

good, if u no sabi sometin keep quite stop to d spread fake rumors

Ismail... lol all na for election. setup

Nigerians are not daft, when information is given to the police, they are supposed to obtain a search warrant and effect same. It is unfortunate that this young (aproko) man has to take the fall for the police. Well, let the media trial begin. "Police is your friend"

The fall guy. . AFeeCee. chain!!!

if you know, you know. hehehehehe

Shameless people.

Na so Buhari dey fear militants.

E think say Clark na Jonathan. They for format APC brain. Eediots.

Fall guys.

Lifeless and clueless administration.

The guy be wan hammer via whistle blowing.

Tommorow, they'll say "Police is your friend"
Whatever stopped them from using an undercover agent to verify the Intel.
They just used the guy as scape goat!
The guy, like other Nigerians should learn to mind their business.
The Po-Po can never be your friend. Ask N.W.A!!!!

This is so wrong.... Alot of people will be afraid coming forward.

The police should take the blame and not look for a scape goat... What happened to surviellance in the first place.


The fact that they didn't see any arms doesn't mean the it might be no arms. ..

So me Wey know where somebody keep 1b USD for bunker... I come forward... I go be scape goat be that oo. All looters please enjoy your loots jare. I give up!

Stupidity of the highest order! It is the Police, who did not do a thorough intelligent gathering before jumping to someone's house that should be sued to court. What kind of childishness is all this? You mean if I tipped you on information about something, you will not do due diligent on it? What differentiate this police officers from "Agbero"?

Fake news and rumor peddlers should be punished accordingly, agreed.

But this joke on the men of the Nigeria Police.
