Barely two weeks after being dismissed from office, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, yesterday, swooped on sacked Justice Gladys Olotu and drilled her for eight hours over corruption-related issues.

The embattled female judge, who had already challenged her untimely removal from office in court, was accompanied by two of her sisters and lawyer to the EFCC’s Intelligence and Special Operations Section, following an invitation by the anti-graft agency.

Olotu, 55, who wore a Polka-dot dress and arrived the office at 9a.m., was still being interrogated by the operatives of the anti-graft agency as at the time of filing the report.

But there were indications she could be granted bail on self-recognition by the operatives.

A top source at the EFCC said Justice Olotu was invited to clarify issues relating to property and bank accounts allegedly traced to her by the anti-graft agency.

The source alleged that many judicial officers, including Olotu, held huge amount of monies, personal property and bank accounts in and outside the country.
