Invasion Of House Of Odili JSC: AGF Distances Self From Police Who Allegedly Confessed To Being A Consultant To The AGF

*AGF Says The Suspect Is A Fake Police Officer
*Dares Suspects To Show Proof That He Authorised The Raid

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has distanced himself from a suspect who allegedly confessed to being a consultant for the AGF

The AGF, in a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, said with a large number of competent professionals at his disposal, is not possible for him to have hired the suspect whom he described as “fake police officer”.

The statement reads in part, “The attention of the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has been drawn to a confession of a suspect during interrogation in the investigation of the recent invasion of the residence of the highly respected Justice of the Supreme Court; Justice  Mary Peter Odili.

“With all the competent, high-level professionals and capable human resources available at the disposal of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, it only takes the imagination of the evil minds to assume or think that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will descend so low to engaging a quack or fake police officer to serve as his consultant.

This is a case of a drowning man scavenging for a dying partner. We are happy to note that investigation has commenced to unravel the circumstances and personalities behind the invasion and sponsored campaign of calumny against the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.”

The AGF expressed optimism that investigation will reveal those behind the attempt to drag his office into dirty politics. He challenged the suspect to produce documents to prove how he engaged him (the suspect).

“It is our desire and we hope that the investigation would also disclose those after the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, those dragging his personality, his name and his exalted office in the dirty politics of disrepute. This is an orchestrated attempt to stir unnecessary controversies and Public apprehension.

“We asked the suspect to present documents of engagements where he worked as a consultant to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, whether in past or now.

“Consultant for what? Which activity or assignment? When was he engaged? What were the terms of references for the alleged consultantancy service? When was he engaged? Where was he engaged? Which worked has he executed for the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and the Ministry of Justice? For what duration? And for how much?

We boldly and unequivocally challenge the fake consultant/police officer to come out with answers or responses to these questions to the general public.

“The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice superintends over and respects the rule of law who will not do anything to undermine the sanctity of his office and that that entire judiciary and Justice sector.”

TheNigerialawyer recalls that the men were said to have been led by a fake Chief Superintendent of Police, Lawrence Ajojo, who admitted that he was engaged as a consultant by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN.
