The home of Supreme Court Justice Mary Odili is under siege.
According to reports, armed men arrived at her Abuja apartment Friday evening and promptly attempted to break-in.
Justice Odili vehemently fought their search on her home, claiming she had no business with them.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has already issued a statement denying that its agents were responsible for the siege.
“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,” it read.
The operation may not be unconnected to Peter Odili, former Governor of Rivers state and husband to the Supreme Court judge, who has been facing corruption charges raised by the anti-graft agency.
Earlier this week, a federal judge ordered the immediate return of Odili’s international passport, saying anti-graft prosecutors have failed to substantiate grounds for continuous seizure of the politician’s passport.
Officials could not immediately say whether or not the ongoing standoff at Mrs. Odili’s residence was because of her husband’s case.
