Matawalle was the governor of Zamfara State between 2019 and 2023 under the APC but could not secure his return to the government house in the March 18 governorship election.
Since his assumption into office, Governor Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the former governor of making way with the state funds and properties.
Why police search Bello Matawalle's residency for cars
Lawal has vowed to recover the alleged stolen properties by Matawaller, while it published some details to support the allegation.
Taking to his Twitter page on Friday, Fani-Kayode condemned the purported invasion of the former governor's residence, describing it as vindictive and lawless.
His tweet reads in part:
"They did not have a search or arrest warrant and they claimed to be acting on the orders of the new Governor. This is unacceptable. It is not only vindictive but also lawless and it stands condemned."
