‘Enough Is Enough, We Can Bite’ – Nigeria’s Supreme Court Sends Warning To Buhari Government Over Raid On Justice Odili’s Home

The apex court said the security operatives seemed to have been on a mission to “kill and maim” her.

The Supreme Court has sternly condemned the invasion of the residence of one of its own, Justice Mary Odili by security operatives last Friday.

The apex court said the security operatives seemed to have been on a mission to “kill and maim” her.

The force men consisting of soldiers and officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) were said to have identified themselves as members of a joint task force.

They had arrived with a search warrant, saying they received information on “illegal activities” going on in the house.


A statement signed by its Director of Press & Information, Dr Festus Akande, described the invasion of Odili’s home as a reminder 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”.

It, therefore, sent a message to the Muhammadu Buhari-led executive arm of government, which controls security operatives, saying “enough is enough”.

The statement read, “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, JSC, CFR on Friday 29th October, 2021 in a Gestapo manner that 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.

“We wish to make it abundantly clear that the Nigerian Judiciary is the third arm of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and should be respected and treated as such.

“We have had a full dosage of this fusillade of unwarranted and unprovoked attacks on our judicial officers and even facilities across the country and we say it loudly now that enough is enough.

“The judiciary should never be misconstrued by any individual or institution of government as the weeping child among the three arms of government that must always be chastised and ridiculed to silence because of our conservative disposition.

“Though there have emerged discordant tunes from the various security agencies that allegedly participated in the dastardly act, we are not lying low on this dehumanizing treatment meted out to one of our own.

“We have commenced a full-scale independent investigation to unravel the true masquerades behind the mystery as well as the real motives behind the whole imbroglio.

“Similarly, we call on the Inspector General of Police of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to rise up to the occasion by carrying out a discreet investigation and make his findings known to the Nigerian public with a view to bringing the perpetrators to justice as quickly as possible.

“The Nigerian Judiciary cannot only bark but can also bite. We can no longer be treated with disdain and levity.

“The rule of law and constitutionality must govern our conduct so that we can tag along with the comity of nations and be taken seriously too.”

Nigeria jaga jaga everything don scatter scatter...

What did you people do when Onoghen was invaded, framed and removed? Nothing.

That was why they grew bold and moved for more southern judges.

Is the supreme Court not control by the Fg

If you can bite, why then have you not declared this useless man a certificateLess president

A case of certificate forgery was instituted against GMB and the case is a straightforward one that shows Buhari has no certificate. But what happens at the end The case favoured Buhari because you people in the judiciary failed to do what is expected of you.

So, stop crying because it is the monster you incubated that is hunting you. Good night

Story

They should bite and stop threatening. Enough of the excesses of our security agencies

It's the same titics because Odili is next in command. They want to install a northerner.

Some persons are talking of retirement down below me there. The things is that the POWER THAT BE don't want her to precide over sensitive issues ahead either by chance or mistake -even if she is staying for 2 days.

Very funny country.

Sharap the day you allowed Buhari impose an incompetent stooge on you as CJN is the day you lost your bite

But how come, Judges like President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, who is married to the APC senator representing Bauch North and Justice Binta Nyako, wife of the former governor of Adamawa, and also APC stalwart don't get such unholy invasion's into their private residences from Buhari's thugs

Oya bite Buhari

When we tell you people to dissolve this nation so that every Okeke,Femi and Musa will answer his father's name you called us terrorists now i don't know who is terrorising who again.

Hehehehehehe supreme Court including the chief justice of the federation? continue mumuing yourself

Bite if you can bite.

No need to threaten anyone with the ability to bite.

It seemed like a plan to kill their target’ — supreme court speaks on Odili home invasion

by Bolanle Olabimtan

The supreme court says the invasion of Mary Odili’s residence appeared to be a disguised attempt to kill whomever the security operatives were after.

On Friday, security operatives — made up of soldiers and police officers — stormed the Abuja residence of the supreme court justice over an allegation that illegal activities were going on there.

The search warrant was granted to one Lawrence Ajodo, identified as a chief superintendent of police and a member of the investigation team under the asset tax recovery panel of the ministry of justice.

The document also showed that the panel comprises the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), and the ministry of justice.

Buhari has no certificate, who has seen your father’s certificate, which primary school certification does he possess?

Wailers stop crying more than the bereaved.

They've tasted a tiny fraction of what the common man faces daily in this shithole country.

They did it to Onnoghen and now odili, don’t know when we southerners will unite and fight for our people. A fight again Fayemi, Kalu or Okowa, any southerner should be a fight against all South

Fire Malami b4 it's too late

Toothless dogs. Useless judiciary fully controlled by the corrupt executive.

You can't do anything

Any day Tanko stops being loyal

His house will be raided

They have done it before and heavens didn't fall

The new style is assassination

Odili was lucky

Overfeeding toothless bulldogs lamenting of biting nomenclature that does exist. During Onoghe you were maruder in taking action (bite as profounded).

The 3 tiers of govt & it's characters
1. THE EXECUTIVE: Brave in stiesling and same time borrowing to steal more and smart to go against them attempting to imitate them and perhaps might want to resist there more stealing.

2. THE LEGISLATURE: Semi fools and selfish and self-motivated gangs of rouges always rubber stamping coordinated and help coordinating loots of the executives.

THE JUDICIARY: Gangs of erudite, intellectual hypocrite who have all the instruments of legal power to know what is right but prioritize there integrity with fear of mediocres and born to rule in the executive most especially the PRESIDENCY.

Toothless bull dog. If they born una well, go after malami

Haha

Bite now

Naso ooh!

Na people wey dey raid houses now
I want to d bite ooh!��
