Poverty mentality won't let you see there's no harm in having such an amount of money in your care. It is your money and you can choose to do whatever you want with it. I keep an amount higher than that in Euro equivalent in my safe at home. How much more a Judge, who has paid his dues, earned his onus and respect as a supreme court judge. Don't becloud yourself with this Buhari's cheap defamation.

Do you know you don't have sense? It's even poverty mentality that makes you keep such money in your house. You keep an amount higher than that in euro? Clap for yourself mr Rich mentality. Go and defend the judge Na. Tribalism will not let you call a spade a spade. I am from south south and I support this move with everything in me. Go and take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and be ashamed.

TPAND:
Some persons think Judges only live on annual salaries. You are quick to forget this guys are consultants to many firms. They make peanuts from salary compared to what they earn from consultancy services.

I don't know when them say, them say news started making frontpage on nairaland. Oga seun, lalasticlala, mynd44. Take this them say, them say ... out of front page

Oga why was the money not in the bank Na?

fergie001:
I am shocked people will support this gestapo-type arrests that is in all ramifications very wrong.What happened to common sense on reporting to the NJC to explore the means of disciplining their judges,an independent arm of the Government.
if u feel uncomfortable,why not get a warrant 2 search their houses or offices as is done in saner climes.
If u are still not comfortable,why not invite them after series of serious investigations.
Must u arrest them in the dead of the night,by 1am?what happened to accosting him in his office in the morning or summon him to yours to clear his name.
Why use d DSS whose core mandate and responsibility is to guide against"crime against the state(insecurity)".
The allegations bother on financial crimes and is within the purview of the EFCC or Police.
Let us not support this rubbish,as the hunter may soon become the hunted.Two wrongs don't make a right.
This is unconstitutional,reckless and unacceptable in all manners of commonsense.
Mind U,am Abian,and nonpartisan,Thank You.

1. They had a warrant.
2. They needed to be taken unawares.
3. It worked because DSS found evidence.
4. If I kill a snake trying to hurt u, it doesn't matter how I killed it. You will be grateful to me irrespective.
5. Kiss transformer before replying with your rubbish.

I think you have a problem with objective resoning and comprehension. If a judge is corrupt,send in the EFCC and ICPC and let them do their job. DSS has no business with arresting people who are corrupt. Secondly,if you must arrest someone,do it in a civil manner,not breaking into their homes and destroying their properties most especially when they did not resist arrest. America and other civilized countries of the world are attractive to us becuase they follow rules and properly laid down laws. If you believe in this type of reckless way of doing things,never expect justice cos a suspect according to the law,is innocent until proven guilty. If you support this,then you have no right to speak against police brutality when metted out on you. Nigeria cannot and should not be run like a banana republic.

Ah! Mr objective reasoning. So is it the agency that conducted the arrest that is your problem? Sorry. And what makes you think they didn't resist arrest? Someone has millions in his bedroom and he won't try to hide it? Hence the break in. Finally the attractive America broke international laws, went into Pakistan and killed Bin Laden. This is small. All your corrupt uncles will end up in jail.

raphieMontella:
yes..like you think buddhism is a religion
and hinduism and all other religions...
They know better...
Rubbish!'

Well, they have never claimed not to be a religion, have they?

ehie:
that is tantamount to fighting corruption with corruption. It's not only looting that is corruption. Using power to intimidate is also corruption

So by your logic, if someone is about to kill you, I should follow the rule of law by calling the police instead of hitting the killer with a stool? Isn't that using violence to fight violence? People are committing crimes that can put your future in danger and you are here shouting nonsense. And if I may ask, what rule did they break? They had warrant! So?

chronique:
I don't pity them. I'm against the process. The way everything is being done portrays Nigeria as a lawless and unorganized society and that kind of society can only be classified as an animal farm. It's only in the jungle that there is no law/organized setting. Get my drift?

Oh boy see your level of reasoning. So a Judge who is supposed to uphold the law collects bribe and u don't see anything wrong? But he is taken into custody and you are screaming "lawless"? Let me ask you? What's should the DSS have done? Call them to say, we are coming so they can stash all the evidence? My friend go and smoke your we*ed.

raphieMontella:
baba dont gimme that crap!

Christianity is a religion!

Your opinion. You are entitled to that. But Christians know better. Wonder when you lot will stop trying to understand the interior of a house from the outside. It's not possible.

ogwumgbe:
Oh boy charity begins at home. He that comes to equity must have clean hands. Is he the president corruption free? What of his associates he has been shielding from corruption example Buratai and Danbazau? And you'd not tell me that he didn't intentionally manipulate the exchange rate to enrich his cronies. If you happen speak this your jaggon in my presence physically. You won't leave alive. Your likes are the reason this zoo government toy with their zombie followers like you of course

Easy brother. Calm down! Jeez! There are three thieves in a land. Taking out two makes my land better. But leaving all three of them because I can't arrest one which is my brother makes my land worse. He is arresting corrupt people but shielding his own. Tomorrow, if you become president, arrest his own too. This process will continue, until we rid the land of thieves. And he deliberately influenced the exchange rate? You sir are a dumb head and you need O level economics in your life.

ogwumgbe:
It is selective absolutely, but why I love this man is that he always go after his supporters especially if you are Afonja. Tinubu',s own had begun, yours will be next, but don't come here to cry when it affects you

Oh so now it's Tinubu's judges? Smh for you. And no I don't support him. I only want a better Nigeria and corrupt judges can't aid that. So any way to arrest them, I am in support. Thanks

Legend87:
Can the DSS arrest buhari for also bribing this same judges over his certificate saga?

No they can't. Same reason they can't arrest Fayose and Wike right now. But when he leaves office, I will give them the thumbs up if they arrest him for bribery! Simple!

zicoraads:
Laveda...come and confess

Personally, I am at a crossroad. First, I grew up attending our 'traditional' church, all this language churches. My grandfather attended, my parents are attending and we too must attend. But I had to sit down and ask myself about my spiritual life, and I realized I don't have any. Truth be told, sometimes, attending that church leaves you more angry. And when you are not in church on Sundays, Mom would want to kill you with calls. Now though, I just stay indoors and pretend I'm ill. And thank God she hasn't decided to visit my house one of these Sundays.

Secondly, I am starting to totally lose faith in religion. I am not one of those who claim the non-existence of God. I know God exists. My problem is I am starting to think the mode of worshiping him shouldn't be as a Christian who goes to church and a Muslim who goes to mosque. Sometimes, I even believe the Muslims have a better way of worshiping him. Forget the religious fanatics, I have read the Quran and I can authoritatively say that the Bible contains too many inaccuracies compared to the Quran.

That being said, religion has created too many problems in the world than we care to admit. Maybe we would have been better off worshiping God the way we deem fit than having so many religious groups complicating our lives.

Religion has created many problems. Not Christianity. And the Bible has more inaccuracies than the Quran? Really? I don't know what you read but it's definitely not the Quran.

Legend87:
I'm not in support of either parties.. My question is, before the privacy-intruding arrest of the judges, what has been done with the recovery of other looted funds?

I am not Buhari's P.A. but it doesn't mean I should clap for the judges. They collected bribe, they should face the music. Simple.

Surfboard:
You don't have to be insultive in making your point, I understand you're frustrated, but I'm sure I'm not th cause of your frustration, so take it easy my man.

Now, to the point about defending corruption. Have you heard the side of the Judges' story? Logic says there are at least two sides to a story and nothing can be decided until all sides are heard. Relax and let them defend themselves. The fact that you already think they're guilty is exactly the way government wants you to think.

P.s I don't support any political party, but I do love a football club with all my heart body and soul...Arsenal FC.

Have a nice day.

Erm...they will be charged to court and they will say their side of the story. But meanwhile, DSS needed to raid in order to get evidence which they did. And nope am not frustrated...well, not really. And how did you like my team bearing arsenal at the beginning of the season? I have a soft spot for arsenal tho

jon1:
One look at your picture one can understand the measure of hardship,hunger and frustration you feel. The despair encompassing your existence makes you hopeless for the children you will have and their children after.
I DO NOT support corruption young man. I simply analyzed the situation,quipping that you ILYNEM who has 200 Naira(cos that seems your worth) should equally be arrested for having a portion of your hard earned money(assuming you are not one of them hungry "yahoo boys" typing away their existence seeking to steal other peoples money online) at home because those who have 2 Naira at home think you acquired yours by criminal means.

You take one glance at my picture and you are already judging my personality. From my picture! That has just told me the kind of person you are. Someone who will make hasty conclusions without properly looking into things and applying reasoning. All you need to hear is "buhari" and "Fulani" and you conclude he cannot do anything right. This is why I can't argue with your superficial thinking self. And look who's calling me a yahoo boy can't even string two words together to make a correct sentence. Rubbish. And for you to think a judge having hundreds of millions in his house is "hard earned" just goes to show your level of reasoning .

Legend87:
And since you buhari is bent of recovering the ''robbed'' funds, how many has he given u or put into further infrastructural development of the country.. With all the said recovered looted funds at his disposal, he stil wants to sale national assets. Doesn't that imply that somthing is fishy about his plans for the country?

Ewu.

It's because of judges like these we aren't recovering these funds. Hence the arrest! See? It's actually win win.

adbokus:
Where do they get idiots like this now! Can't you people be objective for once in your miserable moribund lives?! Democracy is being raped continually here by that m!oron of president and you latch on your keypads to type then post this bunkum! It is your likes that make these nitwits continually refer to Nigerian youths as leaders of tomorrow even as old as you are! I am sure if your daughter was democracy and that Dauric bozo rapes her, you will probably hail him and give him medal of honour. Vacuous entity...

Sharap! Looks like you care about "due process" and "democracy" more than the future of your children and grandchildren, because these politicians and judges are raping that future. And you are busy clapping for them and shouting democracy. Rubbish

melejo:
Delusionalism! All these pampers-wearing toddlers, is it in all topics you comment? Don't you know the subject matter is far above your level of understanding? It is still better to remain silence and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubts

Oga wisdom! It is "remain silent" not "remain silence". Now go back to school!

Legend87:
I permit you to Search google very well to know the meaning of ''Human Rights''

It is because our human rights activist were keeping shut that made bura-ri started his free will tyrancy.

So where were the human rights when politicians and judges where robbing us of our future? Nonsense

chronique:
In 2015,some moronic Nigerians decided to hand over their destiny to a complete ediot and this is the result. What's even more disturbing,is the fact that some brainless people are in support of this action;when did the DSS swap job descriptions with the EFCC? How can any sane person with a good mental faculty and reasoning ability,support the breaking in and damaging of a person's property,just to arrest the person? When the person is not a terrorist,and did not resist arrest? What kind of stupidity is this? Who are the people who gave birth to the supporters of this animalistic behaviour? For crying out loud,these judges could have been arrested without towing this disgracing and embarrassing path. Now,Nigeria looks like a zoo and a wildlife conservation to the entire world. It's a shame that in 2016,govt agencies saddled with the job of intelligence gathering and national security,have been reduced to motor park touts/vandals and the worst part of it all,is that there are still ediots in support of this show of shame.

Na wa for you oh. So you pity their destroyed properties? Try and pity the people these corrupt judges have robbed of justice due to bribe Na. Nigerians like you are the reason we aren't moving forward. I pray you get into a court case with a rich politician.

Yomieluv:
even a thief caught red handed is still entitled to fair hearing, much more a judge of the federal republic.

Since inception of that Gestapo dictator, human right violation, and disrespect to the rule of law has been on an increase.

Buhari government is vindictive in nature.

With his attitude recently, I can say, a tiger never changes it's spots.

It is funny how people that steal peanuts and burnt to death but when someone who is stealing your future nd that if your children is taken into custody, you come out here and shout rule of law. what is the matter with you Nigerians? Do you know how many lives these corrupt judges have destroyed forever? A corrupt Judge is an abomination and soon you will thank this government for this.

ProfessorPeter:
no body is defending any corrupt individual here, what we are saying is that a "corrupt" person should be given a fair trial and should be allowed to exhaust and enjoy all his or her constitution rights and privileges. Also the so called fight corruption should be not selective

Oga how is it selective Na? 'Nothern' judges were arrested too Na?

soberdrunk:
(Mods please forgive my capslock) I CANT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW A LOT OF NIGERIAN "ADULTS" LIKE THIS MY BROTHER HERE REASON, THEY ARE NOT BOTHERED WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL STOLE THEIR 'RIGHT' TO BASIC SOCIAL AMMENITIES, WHAT BOTHERS THEM IS "FAVORTISM" AND "NEPOTISM", ITS LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "CANCER" AND IS WORRIED ABOUT "PIMPLES" ON HIS FACE. A CORRUPT POLITICIAN IS 'ALMOST NORMAL' BUT A "CORRUPT" JUDGE IS AN "ABOMINATION", A JUDGE THAT KNOWS THE LAW LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND AND HOW TO MANIPULATE IT AND YOU EXPECT THEM TO BE TAKEN TO COURT, ITS LIKE REPORTING ONE JUJU PRIEST TO ANOTHER JUJU PRIEST. NOBODY HAS TIED THESE JUDGES TO THE OPPOSITION PARTY SO THE THEORY OF "WITCH HUNT" IS NOT RELATIVE TO THIS ISSUE, SO FAR THE BONE OF CONTENTION IS JUDGES NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN SUDDEN WEALTH ABOVE THEIR INCOME.............

One million likes for you sir

ArabMopol:
step on toes as u said, is it when some section of Nigeria are given preferable treatment let's do it randomly... buhari is a turncoat, we Nigerians has short of remembering, we shouldn't forget in a hurry how he pass 300years jail sentence on Dr Alex Ekwueme the vice President but kept shagari his fellow fulani in house arrest with terms of retiring prematurely from political scene... u know dis anti corruption war is skeptical and selective, but u are just shying away from the truth... very bad for an adult like u to continuously
spewing trash from both sides of ur mouth

Selective you say? I saw some northern names among judged abducted. So what's your point?

Watch all the wailers come out in this thread and spout rubbish. Democracy, rule of law, blah blah and yet they will fail to condemn the criminal judges for taking bribes. Someone is about to kill you, another comes and saves you by hitting the killer on the head with a stick and he passes out. Instead of you thanking him for saving your life, you say he should have followed due process by calling the police. Some of you are just dumb Sha.

EMMAUGOH:
The governor is lawyer, the man to be arrested is a lawyer, and he said he heard about it and against the move.
As a lawyer he did what i think is best to save the caricature your Lord and master is making of the judiciary.

I may be wrong but i think He is protecting one of his won sentiment apart,

Against what move? DSS had warrants to arrest the judge and Wike was against the move? Is he above the law? And my lord and master is making the judiciary a caricature? The judiciary is already a caricature. They are the last hope for the common man and they are being bribed for Christ sake. I pray you go up against a rich man in court and then you will appreciate what my lord and master is doing. Open your eyes and stop being blind to the truth. And is Wike a lawyer? Really?

olumaxi:
What really baffles me abt d bible is dat..it was written thousand of years ago,yet it is stil very relevant in our day to day lifes.....JESUS IS LORD

Word of God the same yesterday, today and forever. God doesn't lie. Other religions have to misinterpret their own holy books to fit todays society.

APC or not they are a disgrace to true journalism, who's talking about political party here

Aunty Journalist. What makes you think they give a sh*t about "true journalism"? So all the other news sources that are licking our politicians @sses and hiding information from us due to brown envelope, they are true journalists? Is your father one if the judges? Because it seems so. Sahara reporters are the truth and it's good these politicians (and your father's people) know that anything they do will be on the spot light
