Agents of the Department of State Security DSS reportedly found a Rolls
Royce in the fleet of about 15 cars of one of the seven judges under
investigation by the agency. A source in the department told the Nation
that the said judge whose name was not disclosed, hired a notable
construction firm to build his palatial home and upon completion,
imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina and Spain.
Another judge told the DSS that he did not know how
N18million was paid into his account and he did not get alert to enable
him complain to his bankers.
Those arrested are: Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro – the
suspended Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division,
Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsamiya, who was picked up in Sokoto; Justice
Adeniyi Ademola (Federal High Court); the Chief Judge of Enugu State,
Justice I. A. Umezulike; Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court;
and Justice Muazu Pindiga (Gombe State High Court).
According to the source “Operatives have discovered that one of the
judges owns a mansion which was contracted to a construction firm at a
huge cost. In fact, the judge imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina
and Spain. At a stage, he conducted his ‘poor colleagues’ round the
mansion in an open display of affluence. The judge has about 15 cars,
including a Rolls Royce. This Rolls Royce was imported. During
interrogation, another judge told DSS team that he did not know how and
when N18million was lodged in his account because he was not getting
alert from his bank. But we have evidence of withdrawals from the
account. We have retrieved the assets declaration forms of these judges.
It was shocking that one of them has three asset declaration forms with
different dates of birth.”
The source added that the judges will still go through trial to enable
Nigerians know that “they were actually caught in the act”.
“The position of the government is that none of these judges will be
allowed back to the bench in the interest of the nation’s Judiciary.
They cannot be arraigned in the dock and at the same time be
adjudicating or attending to cases. It is left to the NJC to allow the
affected judges to keep off the bench until their fate is determined.
But certainly, they will face trial and the outcome will determine
whether or not they will be retired or dismissed. We are expecting the
NJC to do the needful by suspending the judges”he said
