Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has distanced himself from the fake police officer who led the raid on the Abuja residence of Justice Mary Odili.
On October 29, 2021, Lawrence Ajojo, who claimed to be a Chief Superintendent of Police, had led some armed men to the residence of the supreme court judge under the guise that they had been lawfully authorised to search the place.
The incident which had attracted reactions from different quarters prompted the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to set up a panel to probe the incident, leading to the arrest of the suspects.
Among those nabbed over the incident were a journalist, a cleric while some persons, including soldiers are said to be on the run.
In a statement on Thursday, Malami described Ajojo as a “drowning man scavenging for a dying partner”.

This is an orchestrated attempt to stir unnecessary controversies and Public apprehension.
“We asked the suspect to present documents of engagements where he worked as a consultant to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, whether in past or now.
“Consultant for what? Which activity or assignment? When was he engaged? What were the terms of references for the alleged consultancy service? When was he engaged? Where was he engaged? Which worked has he executed for the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and the Ministry of Justice? For what duration? And for how much?” Umar Gwandu, Malami spokesman, said in a statement.
Lawrence Ajojo, one of the suspects arrested over the raid on the residence of Justice Mary Odili, has said he is a consultant to the Attorney-General of the Federation and […]
