The eyewitness, a residence of the area, told newsmen that they security agencies came with so much fierceness, threatening to shoot any unwanted person who dares come close to the residence.

The eyewitness said, “They came at about 3.00pm and left at about some minutes to 5:00pm. As they came they warned that anybody that moves would be shot.
“When they came out, they look so rough; evidence that maybe they broke into some areas (ceiling) in the house. We saw police, SARS, DSS and we are trying to confirm from them their mission and they told us that they are here to search.

It was later learnt that the raid at the home was allegedly the fifth time in three months security operatives would be raiding the house.
Efforts by newsmen as the scene to find out reasons for the raid was unfruitful as the security agents threatened to shoot anybody that came close to the house.
