Supreme Court Describes Invasion Of Justice Odili’s Residence As Impunity Taken Too Far

The Supreme Court in Abuja has broken its silence on the alleged unlawful invasion of Justice Mary Odili of the court by unknown security operatives, describing it as an impunity taken too far.

The apex court warned that the judiciary should not be misconstrued by any individual or institution of government as the weeping child among the three arms of government.

In its first reaction to the situation, the Supreme Court in a statement by its Director of Press and Information, Dr. Akande Festus, said that the attack was an uncivilized and shameful show of primitive force on the innocent judicial officer.

The Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria also held a meeting behind closed doors, with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami over the siege on the home of Justice Mary Odili.

Speaking on behalf of the SANs at the Federal Ministry of Justice Abuja, shortly after the meeting, Adegboyega Awomolo, said they were concerned about the incident.
