The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has discredited reports that it raided the residence of a Supreme Court Judge, Justice Mary Odili, to execute a search.
The anti-graft agency added that if the operation indeed occurred, it was not by the EFCC.
The agency made this known in a statement, through its Head, Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren.
“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.
