By Princely Onyenwe, Imo –
Some days ago, the anti-graft agents EFCC stormed the ABUJA RESIDENCE of Justice Marry Odili amid investigations.
As 9News Nigeria readers are poised to read the reasons behind the unscheduled visit by EFCC, our ABUJA correspondent has confirmed that Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday stormed the Maitama home of Supreme Court Judge, Justice Mary Odili.
It was learnt that the operatives who were accompanied by policemen, went to the judge’s home to execute a search warrant as part of investigations into her husband, Peter Odili, who is a former Governor of Rivers State.
Odili, who was governor from 1999 to 2007, obtained a perpetual injunction from a Federal High Court in 2007 which barred the EFCC from investigating or prosecuting him.
In 2020, he approached a Federal High Court again to get another injunction to stop an impending probe.
Last month, the former governor sued the Nigeria Immigration Service for seizing his passport at the airport.
In its response, however, the NIS said it was the EFCC that asked it to seize Odili’s passport as part of a probe.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, however, ordered immigration to release the passport to Odili immediately.
However, Justice Mary Ukaego Odili is a Nigerian judge and wife of Peter Odili, who served as Governor of Rivers State from 1999 to 2007.
She was appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria by former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Born 12 May 1952 (age 69 years) Marry Odili hails from Ezinihitte Mbaise in Imo state Nigeria and is blessed with four progressive children.
9News Nigeria has confirmed the unscheduled visit of EFCC operatives that stormed the home of a Supreme Court judge amid Odili’s probe as alarming.
