"Some Of The Judges In Our Custody Used Their Family Names And Pictures To Open Accounts"-DSS's Shocking Revelation.
Department of State Security (DSS) has opened up on its sting operation carried out last Saturday where some high ranking judges' houses were raided and some arrested.
The security agency says: "some of the judges in our custody had used the names and pictures of their wives, children and siblings to open shady banks account, which were not known to most of those whose names appeared in the bank ledgers.
“When we brought in most of the children,
wives and relatives of the suspects based on the papers we got from the banks, they did not even have an idea that their names had been used by the judges to open such accounts.
“But you see under the Bank Verification
Number, you must put in your passports, name, signature and others. So, for some of the judges, who used fake names and their wives names to open the accounts into which they paid in the proceeds of crime, they foolishly appended their signatures or used their pictures, something that gave them out.
“From what we have found out, some of the suspects acted foolishly in committing the offence because they cannot prove that even if their children were to earn N1 million monthly since they were born till date, none of them can accumulate the amount of money we have traced to their accounts and the type of property they have," DSS stated.
It would be recalled that Justice Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta of the Supreme Court; Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja; Kabir Auta of the Kano High Court; Muazu Pindiga of Gombe High Court, Mohammed Tsamiya of the Court of Appeal in Ilorin, and the Chief Judge of Enugu State, I. A. Umezulike have all been arrested and currently in detention at the SSS office.
