THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has distanced itself from alleged invasion of the home of Supreme Court Judge, Justice Mary Odili in Abuja.
EFCC in a statement issued by Wilson Uwujaran, Head, Media and Publicity on Friday night, said that none of its officers carried out the said operation.
The statement by EFCC spokesman reads: “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.”
Some security agents were reported to have invaded the Abuja residence of the Odilis at about 5 pm on Friday, but were prevented from accessing the property by a team of security officials stationed in the house.
