Kano state - The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked the reports claiming its operatives invaded the residence of the presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Kano Division, Justice Ita Mbaba.
In a statement released on Wednesday evening, September 21, the commission admitted that it “visited” a property housing Justice Mbaba on a Property Verification Exercise due to a matter involving the owner of the property.

However, the anti-graft agency said there is no truth, linkage or nexus with any investigation of the Justice of the Court of Appeal.
"Available facts showed that Hon. Justice Mbaba is not the owner of the property and could, therefore, not be the subject of any investigation by the Commission.
