The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has distanced himself from a suspect arrested over the siege of Justice Mary Odili’s home.
The suspect, Lawrence Ajodo, was paraded by the police on Thursday
alongside 13 others.
He claimed to work as a consultant for the office of the AGF.
However, the police said their investigations revealed that “there is no
involvement at all” of the officials of the office of the AGF in the raid.
Ojodu and the other suspects, the police said, “are loose cannons” who
forged “different documents” and carried out their “crimes under false
representations.”
According to a statement signed by a spokesperson in the office of the
AGF, Umar Gwandu, Ajodu’s case is that “of a drowning man
scavenging for a dying partner.”
