The Governor of Bayelsa State Douye Diri has condemned the raid on Justice Odili Abuja residence. Diri described the incident as an ill-advised sting operation, and called on the Federal Government to investigate the incident and bring those found culpable to book.
The governor, in a statement said, “Nigeria is not a Banana Republic that security operatives will just take the law into their own hands. The raid on Justice Mary Odili’s residence is highly condemnable and should not be glossed over by any responsible government.
“I urge the Federal Government to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and take needed actions against those found culpable.”
