As investigations continue in the case of the corrupt Judges arrested, new revelations continue to emerge concerning the outcome of the Friday/Saturday raid of Judges’ houses by the DSS.
It was revealed that top bank executives have been visiting the DSS headquaters in Abuja to clarify some suspicious transactions.
A source close to the the investigation, while pleading anonymity, gave insights into the ongoing operation against 15 judges by the DSS.
“We are digging more and getting fresh revelations from these judges. For instance, a Federal High Court judge in detention actually spread the N54million and $171,779 recovered from his residence in different rooms. He kept them in different parts of the rooms like a thief.”
“There is no immunity conferred on judges, we are only duty bound to protect the court because it is a sacred place, a temple of justice. Once you have issues, you go to court but immediately a judge is outside the court, he or she is like you and me.
“There is nothing unusual about the arrest of judges other than it has not been the practice. But it is normal. Once a petition is lodged, it is normal that you just have to look into it as a security agency.”
“We have started looking into allegations against some banks; we have torn all banks apart. Some bank chiefs have been coming to the DSS office in Abuja for clarifications on some transactions we are investigating.
“Every week, not less than three bank officials come here. We will let you know the outcome soon.”
