The seven judges, arrested by the
Department of State Services, DSS, have been released on bail according to
National Mirror.
The accused Judges were said have been
released on bail yesterday (10th october) night.
A source at the Supreme Court confirmed this
development to the correspondent Of National Mirror during a telephone
interview were he stated that the judges had been allowed to go home.
This development may not be unconnected with the inability of the DSS to arraign the seven judicial
officers before a law court yesterday.
Journalist waited anxiously at the
Magistrate Court in Life Camp and another Magistrate Court in Kubwa, all in
Abuja, expecting that they would be arraigned but to no avail.
At the Federal High Court in Abuja
yesterday, all the judges adjourned the day’s proceedings in solidarity with
their arrested colleagues.
According to a source, a particular judge
had prepared to sit for the day but was told that the cases should be adjourned
in view of the happenings in the judiciary.
The source said: “One of the justices was
set for work this morning (yesterday), but was told to shelve the idea since
the court is directly involved in the raid on judges’ house by agents of the
DSS.”
