Segun Akanni, Toronto, Canada 
The Nigeria Police Thursday paraded one fake Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Lawrence Ajojo, and 14 other criminal suspects including some members of other law enforcement agencies, who invaded Justice Mary Odili’s House in Maitama, Abuja.
Parading the suspects, on Thursday at the Force Criminal Investigation Department(FCID), Area 10, Garki, Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, a Commissioner of Police, said the suspects involved in the criminal acts were drawn from different professional backgrounds, notably, journalism, banking and law enforcement.
In a chat with newsmen, the fake CSP, Ajojo admitted that “he’s not an officer of the Nigeria Police.”
He, however, claimed to be a consultant for the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, but insisted that the AGF did not direct him on failed raid on Justice Odili’s House.
The journalist involved also claimed to be working on an exclusive story but was blamed for not reporting the story before and after it broke until he was invited by the police.
On October 30, 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 — who is now said to be an impostor.
Documents seen by newsmen had revealed that the warrant presented by security operatives to search Odili’s residence bore a wrong address.
Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice; and Abdulrasheed Bawa, EFCC chairman, had denied authorising the search.
A magistrate court in Abuja had also revoked the warrant presented by security operatives to search the house.
Usman Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), had subsequently ordered an investigation into the incident.
