DSS Raids Malami's Residence After Atiku's Visit

The Department of State Services (DSS) reportedly stormed the Abuja residence of former Attorney General Abubakar Malami following a visit from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Sources indicate that Atiku spent an hour at Malami's Maitama residence, and the DSS operation took place shortly after his departure.

The security agency was said to have taken strategic positions around the property during Atiku's visit, advancing immediately after he left. The exact reason for the raid remains unclear, but it has heightened political tensions, particularly amid allegations that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is targeting opposition figures in the lead-up to future elections.

Malami has faced corruption charges in recent weeks, which are believed to be part of a broader strategy to weaken dissenting voices and encourage defections to the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The presidency has denied these claims, asserting that actions against public officials are strictly based on the rule of law.
