The desk officer, who declined giving his name, said the raid was informed by fresh intelligence report suggesting that arms were hidden in the compound.
He said the raid was a joint operation between the army and other security agencies.
But contrary to the claim by Kanu’s brother, the military officer insisted that only ‘technical items’ and not household appliances were taken.
“The things removed may be technical items…Somebody was arrested with weapon in the compound,” he said.
