Hundreds of
protesters yesterday stormed the Supreme Court and National Assembly complexes
in Abuja asking all judges arrested by the DSS to step aside pending outcome of
their trials in court.
The protesters under the Forum of Non-Governmental Organizations in Nigeria (FONGON) carried placards with various inscriptions while accusing the NJC of ‘double-face’ and encouraging corruption.
“Judicial corruption is worse than
economic corruption. A judge that freed a corrupt person or a thief after being
compromised is only asking the thief to go and continue stealing.
From year 2000 till date about 73
judges have been suspended by the NJC but none of them has been prosecuted all
these years, what kind of double standard is this?” Badmus said.
