– The Department of State Services (DSS) is set to arraign some of the arrested judges today, October 27 – The judges would be arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory – The judges were arrested by the DSS after a raid at their residence in various states across Nigeria

The department of State Service (DSS) is expected to arraign the judges arrested over corruption allegations. Pulse reports that the judges would be arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja today, October 27. Although it is yet unclear how many of the judges would take their plea today, a number of judges are currently being held by the DSS in its headquarters in Abuja. The judges were arrested on Friday, October 7, following the secret police’s raid at the residence of these judges in Abuja, Kano, Gombe, Enugu and Port Harcourt.

Others are Justice Adeniyi Ademola and Nnamdi Dimgba both of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The judges, the DSS said kept huge sum of money both in local and foreign currencies.
However, one of the judges, Okoro has in a petition accused the former governor of Rivers state and now the minister of transport Rotimi Amaechi of making attempt to bribe him to influence the judgement of Akwa Ibom state gubernatorial elections in favour of Umana Umana. Amaechi has also denied Okoro’s allegations. Meanwhile, another judge, Ademola in his statement, indicted the chief judge of the Federal High Court, Ibrahim Auta. Ademola in his statement said Auta channeled some lucrative cases to him and expected a kickback after the persons in the matter have paid.
