You Remember The Post I Posted Earlier Today About Police/DSS...SSS raid judges’ residences in Abuja, Rivers, Sokoto, Kano, Enugu, Gombe

-
Residences of senior judges across the country were raided by the State Security Service on Friday October 7, 2016.
The security agents executed the overnight raid, and found huge sums of money as well as documents connecting the judges to properties and suspicious practices.
No reason for the raids have been given, but reports have it that the agents made the surprise raid in their bid to confirm existence of evidences tying the judges to corrupt practices. No arrests have been made either.
These raids happened in different states including Abuja, Sokoto, River, Kano, Enugu and Gombe.
Sources reveal that the it started in Gombe State when the SSS moved against Justice Muazu Pindiga, who served on the elections tribunal in Rivers State.
In the federal capital territory, the residency of Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Okoro of the Supreme Court were raided by the SSS for several hours overnight into early Saturday morning.
The SSS also stormed the houses of Nnamdi Dimgba and Adeniyi Ademola, both of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, located inside the Apo Legislative Quarters.

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said Mr. Dimgba’s residence was surrounded on Friday night.
No one is sure he was targeted but the judge recently gave a decision against the continued detention of a retired Air Commodore, Mohammed Umar.
Mr. Umar was arrested following allegations of fraud, illegal possession of firearms and abuse of trust. He was granted bail with a bond of N100 million.
Justice Dimgba had in his ruling ordered the SSS to release Mr. Umar or risk being committed by his court, the source, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, explained. The SSS failed to obey the order and continued to hold Mr. Umar.
In Rivers State, the SSS were stopped by Governor Nyesom Wike and the police, from entering the home of Justice Mohammed Liman of the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court.
The officers however reportedly stormed the home of the judge at 35 Forces Avenue, Port-Harcourt, the state capital.
A statement by Mr. Wike’s spokesman, Oraye Francis, said the operation was led by the Rivers State Director of SSS, Tosin Ajayi.
“The operatives, “rough-handled Governor Wike, pushing him around and injuring his hand,” Mr. Francis said. “A few of the operatives cocked their rifles and threatened to shoot the Governor.”
No reason has been given by the SSS for Saturday’s raids as the agency currently has no spokesperson.
More updates as the News unfolds.

People have always described fuji music as a genre for touts and that perception has existed for a long time. People called it street music, some others called it gutter music but I call it good music. I have not allowed it to affect me or my career.

I would not say his efforts did not yield much because he did everything to ensure that fuji music becomes the kind of music everybody would love to be identified with. On my own part, I mingled with hip- hop artistes who are considered the elite in the music industry. People b...
