The police have arrested one Abdullahi Usman, a senior immigration officer, over his alleged role in the invasion of the residence of Mary Odili, a supreme court judge.
On
October 29, security operatives invaded the Odili residence in Abuja
to enforce a search warrant issued by a magistrate court in Abuja over
allegations of illegal activities happening at the house.
Documents seen, however, revealed
that the warrant presented by the security operatives bore a wrong
address.
On November 11, the police paraded 14 persons in connection with the invasion.
Frank Mba, police public
relations officer, while parading the suspects, accused them of forging
documents that were used in securing a search warrant.
Among those arrested are Lawrence
Ajodo, said to be a “fake police officer”; Stanley Nkwazema, identified as a
journalist, and an Islamic scholar.
However, THISDAY newspapers
refuted the claim that Nkwazema works for the media organisation.
Abubakar Malami, attorney-general
of the federation, has also denied being responsible for approving the search
on the Odili residence.
Confirming the development to
TheCable, Mba said all the suspects will be arraigned in court in Abuja this
week.
“Yes. We’ve arrested him. He is
an assistant superintendent of immigrations, and he serves in Nasarawa
command,” the police spokesman said.
