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 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!
