The Senate has decided to probe the raid on the houses of some judges and their arrests by the Department of State Services.

The decision comes six days after the House of Representatives decided to probe the incident.

The House had on Thursday last week summoned the Director General of the DSS to the chamber to explain why the secret service invaded their homes and arrested them.

The Senate, which had earlier condemned the action, on Wednesday decided to invite the affected judges for further investigation into the matter.

The Chairman of the committee, Senator David Umaru, made the probe known during the plenary on Wednesday.

He said the panel would work on the report by the National Judicial Council on the issue.
