Usman Alkali Baba, inspector-general of police (IGP), has
ordered an investigation into the raid on the home of Mary Odili, a judge of
the supreme court.
On Friday, security operatives stormed the Abuja residence of the supreme court justice over an allegation that illegal activities were going on there.
Documents seen have revealed that the warrant presented by
security operatives to search Odili’s residence bore a wrong address.
In a statement issued on Monday, Frank Mba, force public relations officer, quoted Baba as describing the invasion as “unacceptable”.
“Consequently, the
IGP has directed the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB) to conduct a discrete
investigation into the incident. He assured the commitment of the Force to the
safety and security of the members of the Judiciary and Nigerians in general,”
the statement reads.
“He further called for calm, promising that the Force will
do all within its powers to unravel the perpetrators and motives behind the breach
with a view to bringing all indicted persons to book.
“The IGP has directed the commissioner of police, Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) to strengthen security around the street and residence
of Her Lordship, Justice Mary Odili JSC to ensure her safety and also to
prevent a recurrence of the unfortunate incident.
“The IGP assured that the details of Police investigations
would be made public on conclusion of investigations.”
