Video Of Over 40 ‘Stolen’ Exotic Vehicles Recovered From Matawalle’s Home

A video showing the over forty vehicles belonging to the government recovered from the home of the immediate past governor of the state, Bello Matawalle by the Nigerian police force has surfaced on social media.

Naija News reported earlier that operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and Department of State Services (DSS), stormed Matawalle’s residence on Friday morning after  Governor Dauda Lawal’s led government had accused the past administration of looting government properties.

Following the allegations, security operatives invaded the Gusau residence of the former governor, recovering government properties that were taken, particularly cars.
