‘We found N270million at the homes of 3 judges’ – DSS official

The Department of State Service(DSS) on Saturday said over N270 million was recovered from the residences of three judges. The DSS had on Friday night‎ stormed the residences of over seven justices of the Supreme, Federal and high courts across the country. A breakdown of the monies recovered from the residences of the unnamed three justices include N93,558,000; $530,087; £25,970 and €5,680. Addressing a press conference at the DSS headquarters yesterday to explained why it carried out the raids, an official of the service, Mallam Garba Abdullahi said it was aimed at restoring “sanity and sanctity to the esteemed third arm of government”. According to Mallam Garba, a planned raid on the residence of a judge in Rivers where the service, he said, had intelligence that he had $2million in cash at home was frustrated by Governor Nyesom Wike who brought in thugs to prevent the service from carrying out its mission in connivance with an unnamed sister security agency.
