The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has reacted to the news of the raid in the home of Supreme Court Justice Mary Odili on Friday, saying they had no hand.
We had reported that armed operatives of the Commission visited the residence of Supreme Court Justice. The operatives arrived at Mrs Odili’s Abuja residence on Friday evening with immediate efforts to break in, The Gazette said.
The judge immediately and vehemently resisted the attempts to raid her residence by the operatives, saying she had no business with them.
However, the anti-graft commission in a statement on Friday evening, described the reports of the raid as ‘False’.
The statement signed by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren read;
“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to claims in a section of the media that operatives of the Commission today, October 29, 2021 stormed the Maitama, Abuja home of a Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Odili, purportedly to execute a search.”
“The Commission by this statement wishes to inform the public that the report is false as it did not carry out any operation at the home of Justice Odili.”
“If there was any such operation as claimed by the media, it was not carried out by the EFCC. The Commission enjoins the public to discountenance the report.”
