In the early hours of Saturday, October 8, 2016, theDepartment of State Services (DSS) stormed the houses of some judges and arrested them.
Many Nigerians also condemned the action of the security agency, describing it as unconstitutional.
In the heat of all the condemnation, the DSS issued a statement accusing the judges of fraud and professional misconduct.
One of the judges in the eye of the storm, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, has alleged that he was arrested for granting bail to the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
Justice Ademola also said the DSS was intimidating him because he ordered the release of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
He also alleged that he was told that one of the reasons he was arrested was because he allegedly used his position office to make his wife the head of civil service, through Senator Bola Tinubu.
According to Daily Post, the judge, in a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Mahmoud Mohammed, said “…Upon signing the document, they told me that I am under arrest and ordered me with guns still pointed at me to move outside. As I was going, they told me they were taking me to their office, Department of State Services (DSS) office, without showing any warrant of arrest.
“I obeyed them and about six o’clock in the morning, I was whisked away from my residence to the DSS office without any warrant of arrest or reason for my arrest.
“From the time of my arrival at the DSS office, at about 6:45am on 8/10/2016, I was not told what my crime was for over 24 hours till the evening of 9/10/2016.
“A DSS officiall finally informed me that my arrest were based on these three allegations; petition of Hon. Jenkins Duvie dated 4th of April 2016 to the National Judicial Council (NJC); granting bail to Col. Sambo Dasuki and the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu; and using my office to secure my wife’s appointment as the head of civil service, through Senator Bola Tinubu.”
Justice Ademola also alleged that the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami masterminded his arrest.

ReplyDeleteYou never can tell,this is politics.
ReplyDeleteSo, other justices that were arrested too ordered d release of Dansuki? Or had case with justice minister? Arrant nonsense!
ReplyDeleteAs a trained lawyer he can defend himself well
ReplyDeleteJustice Adeniyi Ademola, is the MOST corrupt among all the arrested judges. If his case is that of witch hunting as he claimed. Why should APC Government be arresting a Judge who is close to Tinubu? He is very corrupt man and should be caged. What is a judge doing with such cash at home?
ReplyDeleteNo be only witch hunting....
They do not pity the poor man so why should i pity their ordeal? Our corrupt elites are so confident, they know how to twist our brain with their lies.
And it had nothing to do with the millions found in your residence right?
ReplyDeleteOkay I believe you.
