EFCC Speaks On Carrying Out Operation In Justice Odili House

• EFCC has spoken about carrying out an operation in Justice Odili house in Abuja.

 

EKOHOTBLOG reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked the widely-circulated reports that its operatives carried out an operation in the Abuja home of the Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Odili.

Reports had emanated from the social media on Friday that the operatives of the anti-graft agency stormed the house of Justice Odili in the Maitama area of Abuja to execute a search warrant as part of investigations into her husband, Peter Odili, who served as Governor of Rivers State from 1999 to 2007.

However, the EFCC, while reacting via a statement on its official Facebook page, noted that its operatives did not carry out “any such operation as claimed by the media”.

The statement was titled, ‘EFCC Did Not Carry Out Any Operation in Justice Odili’s Home’.

It 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,” the EFCC stated.
