The Abuja residence of Justice Mary Odili is reportedly under police siege by operatives of the Economy and Financial Crime Commission – EFCC

About 50 operatives of the anti financial impropriety has invaded the Maitama resident of the Senior Jurist with action and intention to forcefully get in today Friday.

Mrs. Odili is reportedly resisting the agents attempt to raid her residence.

She told them to go and meet her husband because she has no matter pending before them.

Her husband Peter Odili was the former Governor of Rivers State from 1999 to 2007.

He is one of the former Governors with pending cases of financial malapoprietion in his tenure.

In 2007, Odili has obtained a perpetual injunction from a Federal High Court to restrain 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 of his 1999 – 2007 administration as Governor of Rivers State.

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.
