Presidency: DSS Obtained Arrest Warrants For Arrested Judges, Warns Media On Ina by Jalapa01(op): 10:45pm On Oct 09, 2016
The presidency has issued a statement saying the Department of State Services (DSS) followed due process before embarking on the raid of the judges’ houses.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said the DSS obtained search and arrest warrants before they acted.

Shehu said “The Presidency has received assurances from the DSS that all due processes of the law, including the possession of search and arrest warrants were obtained before the searches.”

He also added that “To suggest that the government is acting outside the law in a dictatorial manner is to breach the interest of the state.”

The DSS raided the houses of four Supreme Court judges in Abuja, in the early hours of Saturday, October 8, 2016.

The Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on media and publicity, Garba Shehu has warned the media to be careful of how they report the issue.

Shehu said “...But reports by a section of the media are giving us cause for concern.

“In undertaking the task of reporting, the media should be careful about the fault lines they open.

“It is wrong to present this incident as a confrontation between the executive and judicial arms of government.”

“The Presidency assures that the President reserves his highest respect for the institution of the judiciary as the 3rd arm of government.

“President Buhari remains a committed democrat, in words and in his action, and will not take any action in violation of the constitution.

“President Buhari remains a committed democrat, in words and in his action, and will not take any action in violation of the constitution.

“In a robust democracy such as ours, there is bound to be a plurality of opinions on any given issue, but there is a convergence of views that the country has a corruption problem that needs to be corrected.”

Why has the presidency not obtain the search warrant of the judge who struck out the perjury case against the President? A man who hired 13 SANs to defend him in the court for being asked to show his certificate. Thesame certificate he swore an affidavit that it was with the Secretary of Nigerian army.
