A relative of the CJN told our correspondent that the EFCC operatives seized all the phones of the workers to prevent them from taking photographs of the operation. The relative said, “We were at the farm on Saturday afternoon when operatives of the EFCC arrived in a white Nissan bus marked Abuja BWR627AT. “No document was presented to the manager under the claims that the EFCC doesn’t need a search warrant. It was learnt that after the petition, security officials who had been carrying out surveillance on the property, decided to formally search the farm. The EFCC, it was learnt, decided to raid Onnoghen’s farm with a view to investigating claims by the embattled CJN that most of the monies that passed through his accounts were from his farm business.
