Operatives of the Department of State Service and soldiers attached to the security unit code-named Operation MESA on Saturday stormed the All Progressives Congress data centre in Lagos and arrested 25 data agents and three security guards.
SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that the security agents also ransacked the duplex located on Ajibola Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, and confiscated computer hardware, which contained the data of APC members in several parts of the country.
Our correspondent, who visited the office, observed that all the rooms were turned inside out, while computer parts were scattered in the building.
It was learnt that the security operatives arrived at the centre as early as 6am and ransacked the building for about two hours before arresting those found on the premises.
According to sources, the DSS acted on a tip-off that the centre was allegedly being used as a warehouse by a former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, to produce and issue fake Permanent Voter Cards, while another version had it that weapons were being kept at the centre.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed, said in a statement that the act was part of a ploy by the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government to intimidate the APC ahead of the 2015 elections.
Narrating what transpired, Mohammed said, In the early hours of Saturday morning, a combined team of men of the DSS and OP-MESA stormed the Bola Ajibola Data Centre belonging to the APC in the Ikeja area of Lagos and arrested 25 APC data agents and three security guards.
In what was a Gestapo-like operation, the APC membership data centre located at Number 10, Bola Ajibola Street, came under siege between the hours of 5.30am and 7.30am on Saturday.
An operation of terror and brigandage was unleashed on a legitimate operation of a leading national party. They came without a search warrant for the premises.
Over 50 security operatives drafted from Abuja operations blocked the two major street entrances to the APC data entry centre, pulled down the gates and spent over two hours ransacking and vandalising the centre. More than a dozen computers were destroyed. The server was also vandalised along with other equipment in the building.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has repeatedly stated she does intend to run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, but the results of a new Democracy for America poll suggest she is the clear choice among progressives.
Democracy for America, a progressive political action committee, said its Presidential Pulse Poll found that 42 percent of its members picked Warren as their top choice for President.
Support for Warren among progressives was nearly twice as strong as the level of support for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was favored by 23 percent of DFA members.
While Clinton is the prohibitive frontrunner in other surveys of all Democrats, she actually came in third in the DFA poll, behind Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., at 24 percent.
Warren, who has attracted a strongly following with her populist message, was recently added to the Senate Democratic leadership as Strategic Policy Advisor. She is expected to serve as a liaison to liberal groups after a lackluster turnout in the midterm elections.
DFA Executive Director Charles Chamberlain said, "The results from our first 2016 presidential pulse poll indicate that progressives want to hear from many candidates during the nomination process and that the fight for the support Democrats' grassroots base is far from over."
"The real story for us isn't the top-line results or even Democracy for America members clear interest in seeing Sen. Warren enter the 2016 race, but how committed our members are to ensuring the battle for Democratic nomination is a contest, not a coronation," he added.
The poll showed that former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich was the top choice of 3 percent of DFA members, while just 2 percent favor Vice President Joe Biden.
Less than 1 percent of DFA members favor former Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, who recently became the first candidate from either of the two major parties to take the first official step toward a presidential campaign by launching an exploratory committee.
DFA said its members cast a total of 164,733 votes in the poll, with each voter asked to choose their top three presidential draft picks.
