Robbers Attack Retired Supreme Court justice Dattijo’s Residence In Abuja

The official quarters of retired Supreme Court’s Justice, Muhammad Dattijo, were burgled during the Christmas holidays in December 2023.

The quarters for Supreme Court justices are in Maitama in Abuja, SaharaReporters reported Friday.

Sources privy to the incident told the online newspaper that the home was stripped bare as the burglars “took everything from the house”.

“The burglary took place at the quarters for Supreme Court justices in Maitama. It occurred over the Christmas holidays and Dattijo was travelling out of the country at the time,” one of the sources said.

Dattijo, who retired from the Supreme Court on October 27, 2023, knocked his colleagues on his way out.

He described the apex court as rotten and characterised by filth.

He lamented that the apex court had been pervaded by bribery and perversion of justice, adding that it was dangerous for two out of the six geopolitical zones of the country to be excluded from the bench of the Supreme Court hearing appeals on the presidential election.
