November 1, 2021 Wike Gives FG 48-Hour Ultimatum To Probe Raid On Justice Odili’s Residence

Wike Gives FG 48-Hour Ultimatum To Probe Raid On Justice Odili’s Residence

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government to probe the invasion of the residence of Justice Mary Odili.

Security agents had on Friday raided the home of the Supreme Court, but Wike asked the current administration to bring to book those behind the invasion.

According to Wike, 48 hours is enough for any government to unravel those behind the invasion of the judge’s residence.

“We are telling the world if anything happens to the family of Dr Peter Odili, the Federal Government should be held accountable because they have shown that there is something they are about carrying out,” he added.

“If anything happens to my Lord, Justice Mary Odili, the husband and the children, the Federal Government should be held responsible.

“That is the position of the Rivers State government and Rivers people because enough is enough!”

While addressing newsmen in Abuja, Wike said it was unfortunate that the Minister of Justice and other government agencies denied being part of the invasion.

While noting that it is not enough for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS) to claim ignorance, the governor questioned the group that secured a court order for the search warrant.

According to the statement, Malami’s continued stay in office as the Minister of Justice has become one of the biggest threats to democracy and the rule of law in the country.
