The emergency meeting of the National Judicial
Council called over the arrest of seven judges by
operatives of the State Security Service will continue
on Wednesday.
The meeting began on Tuesday, at midday and lasted
till evening.
Journalists had gathered intermittently around the
NJC office, venue of the meeting in an effort to get
details of its outcome.
Security operatives however ensured that the crowd
of journalists were not allowed close to the venue.
The NJC had called the meeting to discuss the arrest
of the judges by the SSS, after the judges’ homes
were raided between Friday night and Saturday
morning.
The raid has drawn disparate comments from
Nigerians across the nation and beyond.
While the Attorney General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said it was in
line with the process of investigation, the National
Assembly on Tuesday described it as an abuse of the
law setting up the SSS.
