SSS UNCOVERS ARMS IN AKWA IBOM GOVT HOUSE

Men of the Department of the State Service have uncovered arms and
ammunition from the Akwa Ibom State Government House in Uyo.
It was learnt that the discovery was made during a surprise raid.
The operation was jointly carried out by operatives from the SSS
headquarters in Abuja and the state command. The SSS reportedly stormed
the Hilltop Mansion based on security reports.
After ransacking the entire residence of the governor, which is yet to
be occupied by the serving Governor, Udom Emmanuel, the operatives moved
to guest houses and the presidential lodge, said to be currently in use
by ex-Governor Godswill Akpabio.
Security sources said the arms were found in one of the guest houses
while searching for documents and Improvised Explosive Devices.
Meanwhile, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has condemned the
invasion of the Akwa Ibom Government House by the armed men of
Department of State Services.
Governor Fayose said the manner the DSS ransacked, intimidated and
harassed the occupants, claiming they were searching for bomb and
documents, was strange and anti-democracy.
