Take Ibadan for instance, the invasion of the home of Igboho happened in the night and for all-day, everybody was wondering who did and that seven people were killed. People were arrested and abducted at 2am, the governor of the state wasn\u2019t aware. So, everybody was trying to find out, calling security agencies, only for the State Security Service to issue a very provocative statement after almost 12 hours to say, \u2018We did it, we killed two people, we raided a house\u2019. Somebody attempted to evade arrest and you killed two people? The governor of the state wasn\u2019t aware?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn these days of kidnappings, anybody can come to your house in the night and arrest you. And these are guys who don\u2019t wear uniforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Open grazing: Whoever gave Buhari wrong information must be questioned \u2013 Falana<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no provision, unless a crime is being committed in the night; you cannot go there and arrest. In this case, you are required by law to bring a search warrant. In this case, there was no search warrant, nobody took an inventory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, Sunday Adeyemo has said I didn\u2019t have any gun in my house. Yet, the SSS paraded guns and other ammunition. All the controversies would have been unnecessary if the SSS had behaved like a modern, civilised agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are very dangerous legacies of military dictatorship in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
