In response, the retired justice vehemently denounced the accusations, characterizing them as malicious and baseless. Through a statement issued by her Media Assistant, Felix Enebeli, Mary Peter-Odili expressed her strong disagreement with the claims, asserting that they were designed to tarnish her impeccable reputation and integrity.

The statement clearly highlighted the denial of every allegation made in the publication. It firmly asserted that the claims were not only false but also malicious, mischievous, and deliberately intended to damage the high regard in which Mary Peter-Odili’s reputation is held. The statement emphasized her commitment to upholding her integrity in the face of such damaging accusations.
