At least ten more persons linked with the incident including two military personnel are at large, the police spokesman added.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that the Supreme Court of Nigeria on Tuesday, November 2, faulted the invasion of the residence of Justice Mary Odili by security operatives, describing it as impunity taken too far.
It was reported that the apex court warned that the judiciary should not be misconstrued by any individual or institution of government as the weeping child among the three arms of government.
The Court, in a statement by its Director of Press and Information, Dr. Festus Akande, described the attack as an uncivilized and shameful show of primitive force on an innocent judicial officer.
We did not carry out any operation in Justice Odili’s home, EFCC cries out
In another news, the EFCC denied news making the round that the Maitama, Abuja home of Justice Odili, was invaded by personnel of the commission.
According to the anti-crime agency, there is no truth in the news that Odili's home was invaded by EFCC operatives.
This was disclosed in a statement made available to Legit.ng.
