Following social media posts that claimed EFCC agents “invaded” Mbaba’s residence, the spokesman responded.
On Sheik Yusuf Adam Game Street, just off Race Cross Road in G.R.A., is the residence of the presiding justice of the Court of Appeal, Kano Division.
Anti-corruption officers visited the area “on a Property Verification Exercise,” according to Uwujaren.

The official explained that the reason for the visit was a continuing issue concerning the property owner.
“There is no basis for any investigation of the Honorable Justice of the Court of Appeal,” the statement reads.
The information at hand demonstrated that Justice Mbaba is not the property’s owner and, as a result, cannot be the focus of any inquiries.
