He was evicted alongside his family members by more than 30 armed Air Force personnel.
The Air Force men came in three patrol vehicles and a towing vehicle.
It was gathered that the men arrived at the premises of the retired officer about 3:30am and immediately began the eviction.
No reason was given for the action, but sources in the neighbourhood said the property has been under litigation for a long time.
“The property is under litigation for long. The retired officer and a politician have been fighting over the property but the officers used his office to hold onto the property until he retired two years ago”, the source said.
As his personal belongings were being thrown out, the retired officer who could not believe his eyes, described the action as a disgrace and an embarrassment from the force he served for 35 years.
An Air Force officer, Group Captain A O Akinyele said: “It is our men, it is our operation, I cannot say more than that for now. When the need arises, we will invite you”.
