The plainclothes policemen, who were allegedly on unauthorised assignment, physically confronted the EFCC team despite being shown valid court documents authorising the forfeiture of the property.
A violent, two-hour armed standoff erupted on Monday in the high-brow Guzape area of Abuja as two busloads of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives moved to enforce successive Federal High Court interim forfeiture orders against properties allegedly acquired by Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac, also known as Hajia Bilikisu of Abuja, a close ally of former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and a criminal trial suspect.
The operation, which commenced around 1pm on Monday June 28, 2026 at the disputed multi-billion-naira property located at Plot 4022, O.B. Lulu-Briggs Street, Guzape, descended into chaos when plainclothes individuals guarding the property allegedly violently resisted the EFCC operatives who arrived to execute the court order.

According to a source who spoke to SaharaReporters, Rebecca was inside the mansion during the operation and allegedly directed the resistance from within, working with some police personnel.
