Report reaching us at the moment is that a combine team of The Economic Financial and Crimes Commission, EFCC personnel and the personnel of the Department of State Security Service DSS, on Tuesday invaded the residence of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen in Abuja in a bid to arrest him and whisk him away to an unknown location.
It was gathered that the DSS got its order from above to arrest the current Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, inject him and make him incapacitated.
This is coming on the heels of the inhumane treatment currently meted out to a serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Dino Melaye, a senator representing Kogi West senatorial district in the hand of personnels of the Department of State Security DSS.
In a similar development, According to Femi Fani Kayode through his twitter handle posted, “These people want Nigeria to burn! Buhari call off your dogs before it is too late!
“This is a democracy and not a gestapo state! In the name of God let this madness stop.”
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday reportedly issued an order to Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen to immediately vacate his office.
The CJN’s trail at the Danladi Umar-led Code of Conduct Tribunal was expected to commence on 14th Monday in Abuja on charges of failures to declare his assets as required by law and for operating Bank Domiciliary Foreign Currency Accounts but the senior judge refused to appear in court but was absent in court.
Various legal luminaries have reacted to this attempted arrest by the EFCC and the DSS.
