BREAKING: Suspects Who Raided Odili’s House Not Security Operatives – Police

The Nigeria Police said they have arrested 14 suspects in connection with the illegal invasion of the home of Justice Mary Odili of the Supreme Court.

A “fake” chief superintendent of police (CSP), Lawrence Ajojo, was arrested on Thursday alongside a journalist and an Islamic scholar, amongst others.

The alleged fake police officer had led the suspects to invade the judge’s residence in October.

The suspects were paraded at the Force Criminal Investigation Department in Garki, Abuja.

The Force PRO, Frank Mba who disclosed this during a media briefing, noted that the arrest followed a comprehensive investigation into the case.

Mba said, “Earlier on, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice had also submitted a written petition into the office of the IGP, requesting a robust and discreet investigation into the matter, with the aim of unravelling the identities of the persons involved, their motives, and perhaps, the authorities, if any, behind them.

“The case was subsequently handed over to the force intelligence bureau on the instruction of the IGP,” he said.
