About 15 out of the 22 suspects alleged to have laid siege on the residence of Justice Mary Odili of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, were arraigned on Wednesday before Justice Nkeonye Maha of the Federal High Court in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The suspects who are facing an 18-count charge, were said to be among a Joint Panel Recovery unit of the Federal Government comprising the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Police, and the Federal Ministry of Justice.
The panel had invaded the Abuja residence of the Supreme Court next ranking Justice on October 29, claiming it had a warrant from Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna to search the home of Justice Odili, who is the wife of Dr Peter Odili, former Governor of Rivers State between 1999 to 2007.
