Dozens of witnesses are ready to testify against the seven arrested senior judges as the Department of Security Services (DSS) charges them to court next week, Daily Trust gathered yesterday.
The security agency said it was almost through with its investigations as it awaited the National Judicial Council to take some decisions about the affected judges before their arraignment next week, a security source said last night.

“We are almost through with the investigation. The ongoing investigation is not supposed to go beyond this week. We have written the NJC about what has happened and we expect the NJC to take some decisions about the affected judges this week.”
“Once that is done, hopefully by next week or thereabout, we should arraign them in court,” the source told Daily Trust.
Fifteen senior judges are under investigation over corrupt practices and seven judges have already been arrested.
The source said since the arrest of the judges and raid of their homes, more petitions were sent to the DSS over various corruption allegations against many other judges.
“For now more facts in the form of petitions are trickling in about the judges. It’s like everyone who has had cause to go to court for one reason or the other has been a victim. More facts are trickling in and we cannot ignore them,” the source said.
“It is our statutory responsibility to investigate painstakingly every complaint. Some victims have even indicated their readiness to testify in court. We assure the public that we will do a thorough job.
“We are investigating all the properties linked to them. The kind of things we observe as regards the forms they submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau is another kettle of fish,” the source said.
“We discover a judge filling three different forms with different information either in terms of assets declared or even personal information like age,” the security source added.

Defenders of corruption (sadly they're also joint victims of the vice) were masturbating all over a thread suggesting their arraignment has been postponed indefinitely as if "indefinitely" means "never to be arraigned".

For avoidance of doubt, "indefinitely" only suggests no specific date has been fixed yet. However, the arraignment could still happen the next day, a week's time, a month's time or even a year's time. Surely, it's not a thing to celebrate on.

Lazy kids aplenty here I swear!

Activities in this country makes me laugh and also weep for this nation. What are they witnessing oh, make una yearn me.

Hedonistically:
Idiots (i.e. the DSS). Shebi your demented DG called Daura would be seconded as an emergence judge to preside over their arraignment? Let's watch and see what happens. That's what you get when lawless, reckless cattle rearers from rustic communities in the hinterlands take over the reins of government.
