Nigeria Justice Walter Onnoghen not targeted in raids conducted so far.

2. Justices John Inyang Okoro And Sylvanus Ngwuta of the Supreme Court
Justices “arrested” in connection with bribery by Gov. Nyesom, Ngwuta
reportedly traveled to Qatar to pick up bribes that he shared with
Ngwuta and some others.

3. Gov.

confronted by Police and DSS agents who threatened to shoot him

4. There was a siege on the home of a young judge, Dimgba Nnamdi, who
apparently has been a thorn in the side of the DSS lately. When the

6. DSS team reportedly arrived Justice Adeniyi Ademola’s house in Abuja
asked him to come out, but he claimed he wasn’t home, however, 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.

It is claimed that the raids were carried out between
DSS and the Nigerian Police, later learnt Police bungled some of the
raids by tipping off their targets.

The security agencies claim
the raids took place after they carried out independent investigations
from petitions submitted to the NJC against some of the judges.

Raid ought to have taken place last week but had to be postponed. Arrested judges will appear in court early next week!
