The Abuja residence of the Supreme Court Justice, Mary Odili on Friday came under siege by security operatives.
According to a report on AIT News, the security operatives were identified as personnel of the Nigeria Police Force.
However, no reason was given for the siege.
Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) denied that its operatives were behind the raid on Odili’s residence.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC urged the public to disregard the report.
“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.

“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 statement read.
