Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), has refuted a confessional statement of a suspect arrested in connection with the raid on the home of Mary Odili, a justice of the supreme court.
The police, on Thursday, paraded 14 persons in connection with the invasion.
Frank Mba, force public relations officer, said the suspects include a fake chief superintendent of police (CSP), a journalist, and an Islamic scholar.
Mba said 10 other suspects, including two military personnel, are currently at large.
In a statement by Umar Gwandu, Malami’s spokesman, one of the suspects alleged that he was contracted by the AGF.
However, Malami described the confessional statement as “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,” he said.
