SSS, Military Police raid former Minister’s residence in Abuja

The residence of late Hassan Agwai Mohammed (Ciroman Keffi), in Asokoro, Abuja, was Friday night raided by a combined team of State Security Service, SSS, and military police personnel.

The security operatives who arrived at the residence at about 9 p.m. in four trucks belonging to the SSS; one military truck and a bus, ordered the arrest of all the occupants of the duplex, three bungalows and an adjourning mosque in the residence.

DailyPost gathered that the team raided the house on the grounds that some illegal Chadian immigrants reside there.

One of the sons of the late Ciroman Keffi, Hussein, said the security personnel forced all of them out of the house and ordered them to lie face down. Women and children were however treated softly.

He recalled that a thorough search of the whole buildings which lasted for about forty-five minutes, was conducted.

Thereafter, all the males, including those who were in the adjourning mosque numbering 15, were ordered into the bus and driven to the DSS headquarters in Asokoro.

“At the office, we were asked to tell them the persons who reside in the houses within the premises. They separated us from those who stay in the mosque. After questioning, only seven of us were released. As I am talking to you now, the others are yet to be released,” Hussein said.

There has been no official clarification from the DSS or its spokesperson, Ms. Marilyn Ogar.

Late Ciroman Keffi, served the country in various capacities; a one time Minister of the Federal Republic, Ambassador and Chairman, Petroleum Products Marketing Commission (PPMC)
