He added that the operatives of the EFCC carted away cars, wristwatches and other valuables from the house during the raid.
‘‘This is against the fact that the anti- graft agency has never invited the ex-minister or any of his sons for questioning beyond the tirade and allegations its operatives have been propagating in the media space,” Eze said in a statement on Tuesday after the raid.
