The Senate has condemned the draconian invasion of the homes, arrest and detention of serving judges by the directorate of the Department of the State Security (DSS) without deference to the constitutional responsibility of the National Judicial Council (NJC).
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary Senator, Joshua Lidani brought the matter of the weekend arrest of the judges before the Senate at the resumption of plenary today.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki says the Senate is in full support of the fight against corruption but the government must ensure that the war on corruption must be done within the rule of law.
The Senate is mandating its committee on judiciary, human rights and legal matters to review all existing laws establishing security agencies and report back in four weeks.
