“There was no notice before the search. The policemen just walked in and demanded to search the house,” he said.
“When they came, my secretary wasn’t around and they did not have access to the office because it was locked but they insisted that the office must be opened. They eventually searched the place but didn’t find anything incriminating.
“They searched my bedroom too… we allowed them to do their job.”
