Money recovered from arrested judges
The Department of State Services says it recovered over
N270m from the houses of the judges it raided late on Friday and in the
early hours of Saturday.
The agency said this on Saturday, while explaining the reason for its widely-criticised raid, during which over four judges were arrested.
The DSS said N93,558,000.00; $530,087; £25,970; and €5,680 (a total of over N270m) were recovered from three of the judges affected in the raid, which the agency described as a follow up to the outcome of a “special sting operation”.
The agency, however, accused a judge in Rivers State of hiding $2m, vowing that it would recover the cash.
