EFCC Boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa has said michief makers are trying to link EFCC to the raid on Justice Mary Odili’s residence.
Point News247 reports that the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abdulrasheed Bawa, says the agency has no connection with the raid on Supreme Court Justice, Mary Odili’s house.
Recall that security operatives had on Friday night, conducted a search on the Abuja home of Justice Mary Odili. The search warrant was allegedly signed by a Magistrate who later said there was misrepresentation in obtaining the warrant.
Bawa while speaking during an interview on Channels Television, said “mischief makers” want to put the EFCC at loggerheads with the judiciary.
Bawa added that linking the raid to the EFCC is an attempt to sever the relationship between the commission and the judiciary — its “biggest partner”.
Bawa said, “I think they are just mischief makers trying to link anything to the EFCC of this nature. We were never there, none of our operatives was there. It’s not from EFCC, it’s not an EFCC thing. And I’ve called all the non-security and re-enforcement agencies in the country and they also denied that anybody has been sent to the house to carry out any search or arrest.
“In fact, it came to my knowledge when a very senior lawyer called the director of legal. We were having a meeting in the evening, and he asked to give the phone to the director of operations that we were also having a meeting together with.
“And when I came back, because I had just stepped out, they said that this is what is going on and we just laughed because we understand that there are a lot of people that want to put us at loggerheads with the judiciary.
And you know that in the work that we do, the judiciary is our biggest partner, and of course they are just trying to cause problem where there is no problem.”
