The raids on the homes of some Supreme Court and Federal High Court judges on Friday and Saturday 8 and 9 October by Nigeria's security agency officials have sharply divided opinion in the country.

The Directorate of State Services (DSS) claimed in a statement to have targeted the judges for their corruption and claim to have recovered $800,000 in cash from the judges' homes. "The searches have uncovered huge raw cash of various denominations, local and foreign currencies, with real estate worth several millions of naira and documents affirming unholy acts by these judges. We have been monitoring the expensive and luxurious lifestyle of some of the judges as well as complaints from the concerned public over judgment obtained fraudulently and on the basis (of) amounts of money paid."
