The Nigeria Police have distanced itself from claim in some quarters that it carried out the raid on the Abuja residence of Chief EDWIN CLARK.

Force spokesman, MOSHOOD JIMOH in a statement said the Inspector General of Police is not aware and did not order the raid of the residence of the Elder Statesman, Chief EDWIN CLARK.

He said the Inspector General of Police has therefore directed the detention and investigation of the Four Police personnel and the informant involved in the exercise.

MOSHOOD JIMOH assured that the Force under the IG will not condone misconduct by any of its personnel that can run contrary to the rule of law.

Information filtered in that the policemen who stormed the home of Chief CLARK were in search of arms and ammunition.
