Following the raid on the residence of Justice Mary Odili, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government to fish out the perpetrators.

Recall security agents on Friday, October 29, raided the residence of Justice Odili, a Supreme Court Judge at no. 9 Imo street, Maitama, Abuja.

The personnel had laid siege for hours at the residence with a search warrant alleging that they had information of illegal activities going on at the Justice’s residence.

The invasion had caused a stir, even more ,owing to the denial of invasion by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Attorney General of the Federation/Minister for Justice.

“We think that there is an attempt to assassinate Justice Mary Odili, the husband and members of the family, there are no two ways about it.

“The issue here has nothing to do with the Attorney General, we are happy he said he is not aware. We said, okay since you are not aware, we are giving you 48 hours to tell us who is responsible.”
