FG Should Be Held Responsible if Anything Happens To Justice Odili – Group

Akwa Ibom Oil Producing Community Network says the federal government of Nigeria should be held responsible if anything untoward happens to Justice Mary Odili.

This is coming in reaction to an invasion of the Justice Odili’s residence by some armed operatives on Friday, October 29, 2021.

In a statement signed by the President-General of the human rights group, Dr. Ufot Phenson, the group said: “The attack on the eminent jurist of the Apex court is viewed by AKIPCON as barbaric, uncivilized. It was a display of brute force against an innocent judicial officer of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, who is discharging services to her fatherland.

“If anything untoward happens to Justice Mary Odili – the CROWN DAUGHTER of the Niger Delta, the Organisation will shout to the whole world and hold the Federal Government of Nigeria responsible.

“The attack has the semblance of hired assassins whose mission was to kill, destroy or maim. We call on the federal government to thoroughly investigate the incident with a view to bringing the culprit to book.

“Nigeria is not a banana republic where people, individuals and organizations can take the laws into their hands,” the statement reads in part.
