Clampdown on judges: DSS goes after SANs, retired judges

Undaunted by criticism trailing its clampdown on corrupt judges, the Department of State Services (DSS) has concluded plans to swoop on more judges and some identified Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) who allegedly aided and abetted corruption on the Bench, New Telegraph has learnt.

Also, DSS, according to an impeccable source, would go after some retired judges who allegedly worked in tandem with the judges arrested at the weekend over allegations of bribery and corruption. Some of the judges recently sacked or retired by the National Judicial Council (NJC) for gross misconduct will also have their date in court.
The identified Senior Advocates and the retired judges, according to the source, were the channels through which judges were being compromised. “The secret service would go after senior lawyers, retired judges and politicians who were believed to be links between judges and parties,” the source said.https://newtelegraphonline.com/clampdown-judges-dss-goes-sans-retired-judges/
