Speaking more on discoveries made, the police chief said the same gate through which Maeba alleged the gunmen gained access into his house was not damaged.

Effiong added:

“About 9 or 10 security personnel are in his compound. Apparently, because he was satisfied with what I did, as soon as the Deputy Commissioner of Police got there, investigation commenced.
“He was asked to make a statement. To him, that isn’t the procedure but as we speak from that day till today, he hasn’t written a statement. I called him the next day and told him we needed to see his statement but he was waiting on his lawyer.”
