The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied media reports suggesting that its operatives invaded the home of Supreme Court Judge, Justice Mary Odili.
WuzupNigeria quoting The PUNCH reported that Justice Odili’s Maitama home in Abuja was invaded by the EFCC, accompanied by policemen to execute a search warrant as part of investigations into her husband, Peter Odili, who is a former Governor of Rivers State.
However, the commission released a disclaimer in a statement signed by its Head Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, on Friday night, titled: “EFCC Did Not Carry Out Any Operation in Justice Odili’s Home”.
“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,” Uwujaren said.
