This is epic.

Is it not absurd that it is the looters and wailers that are castigating DSS. Fayose that slapped a sitting judge in a court room is also talking.

If the our Bureau D'Judges can descend so low to corrupt themselves, DSS should also descend to the lowest level of impunity to bring them to justice.

RUle of Law my foot. Was that considered when money or favours was exchanging hands.

Are Judges above the law?

DO they have immunity?

is there a stipulated time for arrest in the constitution?

Are all security agencies and even citizens not empowered constitutionally to arrest?

Does the constitutional role of DSS not include economic crimes that have affect internal security of Nigeria?

Sentiments, emotions and hatred for PMB is simply the driving force of some people.

Okay! I hope you read the article...??

NgeneUkwenu:


You are welcome! Where are your colleagues?

TonyeBarcanista:
NgeneUkwenu, I understand the need to fight corruption but we have to be careful not to arrogate absolute power to the executive.

Ideally, investigators are to Invite suspects or indictees (without saying the reason for invitation) and when those invited refused to honor the invitation, arrest becomes justified.

Secondly, to search the house of a citizen first requires a Search Warrant. I heard that DSS obtained search warrant (from Newspaper) which I'm not in position to verify or otherwise, but the search warrant are to be executed between the hours of 6am and 6pm according to our laws.

But like I said in one thread, we have to be careful. Anyway, let the legal fireworks begin

If the answer to these questions is yes,

3. Did you read the OP?

If your answer to 3 is yes,
Please revisit question 2

If your answer to question 3 is no,
What is the point of having 1 and 2?

If criminal and corrupt judges should be invited, then armed robbers, kidnappers, drug dealers must also be invited before being arrested. Are judges above the law or do they have immunity?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander and no crime is greater than the order. A crime is a crime.

Corrupt Judges have been arrested in US by FBI (capital of democracy) and in Ghana.

Condoning corrupt judges in the name of democracy is a rap.e of democracy in itself.

Sydney22:
you probably read only the headline .... Ngene is supporting DSS bastardization of rule of law/ due process..

Why not use same method on patience Jonathan

Mynd44:
In an operation where you suspect that the suspects has some evidence in their possession, a surprise arrest is best. It makes no sense to invite and give room for the suspects to destroy the evidence.
If you are suspected of having bribe money in your possesion, your doors will be broken in when you least expect as long as the security agency has a warrant.
Imagine the NDLEA inviting drug barons to their office because they suspect that they are in possesion of ilkicit drugs and money from the proceeds of illicit drugs.

They should have reported to Judicial Council (NJC), the body saddled with the responsibilities of investigating and sanctioning erring judges. Not invading there homes their homes and extrajudicially apprehending them , this is just an attempt to blackmail and intimidate the Judiciary.

Did you see subsection 3 that mandates "invitation" FIRST before executing warrant of arrest?

BTW I made mention of SEARCH WARRANT not Arrest Warrant.


From the report, DSS claimed they have SEARCH WARRANT not Arrest Warrant. Both are different...

SaharaReporters has learnt from sources at the Department of State Security (DSS) that the overnight raid on the residences of some nine court judges, culminating in the arrest of several of them, came as a result of petitions and decisions of the National Judicial Council (NJC), a statutory body that regulates the activities of judges.

However, two Supreme Court justices, John Inyang Okoro and Sylvanus Ngwuta, w[b]ere arrested in connection with the receipt of bribes from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State[/b]. Justice Ngwuta reportedly traveled to Qatar to receive bribes that he shared with Justice Okoro and other justices in order to help Mr. Wike to win a case at the Supreme Court regarding his disputed election. During a search of his home Justice Ngwunta was in possession of N35,208m, $319,475, 25,890 pounds and 280 Euros

The two judges have been linked with massive properties development in Abuja and Calabar. Justice Okoro is said to be building seven houses simultaneously in Calabar with the help of former Governor Godswill Akpabio and his predecessor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom state. Justice Okoro had N4.35m, $38,833 and 1000 Euros in his possession during his arrest this morning.

One of the most dramatic scenes took place when the DSS team stormed the home of Justice Adeniyi Ademola. When the team ordered Justice Ademola to come out, the judge claimed he was not home, but his cellphone signal gave him away. He was subsequently arrested with at least N300 million found in different local and foreign currencies in his bedroom. Specifically the same of N54m cash, $171,779. 4,400 Euros, 1,010 Rupees, and 80 pounds was found in his residence.

A different team also arrested Justice Kabiru Auta in Kano.

One DSS source told our reporter that the raids were meant to be carried out by joint DSS and the Nigerian police teams, adding that the police bungled some of the raids by apparently tipping off their targets.[/b]

Several security agents stated that the raids took place following independent investigations that were triggered by petitions submitted to the NJC against some of the judges. According to one of the operatives, [b]none of the nine judges targeted haven't spent their salaries in the last two years.

Mynd44:

I guess you mised where the SSS said they had already reported the judges to the NJC and the actions were dissatisfactory. You have not pointed out the illegality in the actions of the DSS instead you are allowing your emotions run.

Please argue objectively
