Justice Ita Mbaba Not Under Investigation-EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that its officials were  at  the residence of a presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Kano Division, Justice Ita Mbaba in Kano but noted that the top judicial officer was not however under investigation.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned  Wilson Uwujaren, who is the  Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, made this clarification in a statement on Wednesday.

 Social Media reports had claimed  that  EFCC agents at the Kano Zonal Command of the Commission  conducted a raid on the justice’s residence at  Sheik Yusuf Adam Game street, off Race Cross Road, Nasarawa Government Reservation Area, Kano.

 ‘The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to some reports on Social Media, alleging that its operatives, in the Kano Zonal Command, “invaded” the residence of the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Kano Division, Honourable Justice Ita Mbaba, located on Sheik Yusuf Adam Game street, off Race Cross Road, Nasarawa Government Reservation Area, Kano.

While it is true that operatives of the Commission visited the property housing Hon. Justice Mbaba, on a Property Verification Exercise, owing to a subsisting matter involving the owner of the property, there is no truth, linkage or nexus with any investigation of the Honourable Justice of the Court of Appeal. Available facts showed that Hon. Justice Mbaba is not the owner of the property and could, therefore, not have been the subject of any investigation by the Commission.

We wish to restate that Hon. Justice Ita Mbaba is not under any investigation by the EFCC. The Commission holds the Judiciary in optimum respect and will do nothing to embarrass any officer of the court’ he said- Team@orientactualmags.com
