The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday denied it carried out an operation on the home of Justice Mary Odili.
Indeed, reports of a raid on Odili’s residence were condemned by the Commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, saying none of its officers carried out any operation.
It would be recalled there had been reports earlier that the EFCC had gone to Justice Odili’s home to execute a search warrant, as part of investigations into her husband, former Governor of Rivers State, Peter Odili.
Similarly, the EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa said “None of our operatives was there,”
“It is not an EFCC thing. I have called all the security and law enforcement agencies in the country and they also denied that anybody has been sent to the house to carry out any search or arrest.
“A lot of people are trying to put us at loggerheads with the judiciary. And as you are aware, the work that we do, the judiciary is our biggest partner. They are just trying to cause problem where there is no problem.”
