Following an ugly incidence that recently took place in a coordinated attempt to rubbish Nigeria judiciary, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has reacted to Justice Mary Odili of the supreme court by unknown security operatives.
The supreme court in its prompt reactions described such experienced as an impunity taking too far.
Global Times Nigeria revealed that Mrs Odili’s Abuja residence was raided by armed security operatives last Friday.
The apex court warned that 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 ugly situation, the Supreme Court in a statement by its Director of Press and Information, Akande Festus said that the attack was uncivilized and shameful show of primitive force on innocent judicial officer.
The statement read in part “We are alarmed with the news of the unwarranted and despicable raid on the official residence of one of our senior justices in the Supreme Court, Hon. Justice Mary Peter Odili on Friday 29” October, 2021 in a Gestapo manner.
“The attack unfortunately depicted a gory picture of war by some armed persons suspected to be security operatives representing different agencies of government who seemed to have come to kill and maim their target under the guise of undertaking a search whose warrant was questionable and baseless.
“We are deeply saddened and taken aback by this uncivilized and shameful show of primitive force on an innocent judicial officer that has so far spent several years of her productive life serving the country she calls her own.
“This incident brought back, rather painfully, the ugly memory of the October 2016 midnight invasion of the homes of our respected justices with no satisfactory explanations as to the true motive behind such brazen assault on our collective sensibility
