According to The Nation, a mammoth crowd gathered to observe the development, while hoodlums who could not be readily identified, were seen carting away some of the goods.
It, however, took the intervention of the Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Ladodo to prevent the Committee from carting away the property it earlier market as belonging to the state govenrment.
Addressing journalists, Ndubuaku, Chairman of the Committee, said that the Committee had a Court Order to raid the business premises and recover stolen government property, having gotten a credible intelligence that government properties were warehoused in the premises but were obstructed from carrying out their duties by the Police.
He disclosed that the premises has been sealed formerly by the state government, adding that nobody, including the owners will be allowed entry into the premises pending further actions.
