Encomium
On Saturday, October 8, 2016, Department of State Services raided the homes of a number of Justices of the Supreme Court and the Federal High Court (Justice Adeniyi Ademola, Justice Nwuali Ngwuata and Justice John Okoro), and the summary of cash allegedly recovered were N93.6 million, $530,087, £25,970 and €5,680.
Ever since the forceful arrest, Nigerians have expressed their views with many supporting the war against corruption…
The arrested judges have case to answer.

I don’t get how people can’t see that even though we’re in support of corrupt judges being arrested and prosecuted we still want due process

The Nigeria judges are been arrested ‘n to face the judgment, are they not to take to the court? Who ‘ll judge over their cases?

#YourViewTVC the manner in which the judges were arrested should not matter but the motive hide the arrest should matter

My one coin on the arrested judges is that most of judges thinks they are the law that we use in this country with their level of impunity

@tolulopeab @liborous Please can we know the exact law the DSS broke? is it compulsory that NJC should be informed before judges arrested?

I bet nothing will happen to the arrested judges. It’s just some hot air by the authorities. #Corruption forces seem stronger than Naija.
— Olusegun Iselaiye (@iotama22) October 10, 2016
More corrupt senior judges will be arrested and nothing will happen! https://t.co/E8tQ40bj84

I’m laughing at all the commentary regarding the arrested Judges. So many things are wrong and funny.

Corrupt judges were arrested yet the concerned citizens were attacking the Govt who did so,what manner of country is this. We aid corruption

@sunrisedailynow Many corrupt judges were arrested in Ghana & heaven did not fall. Let d arrested judges seek redress in court if aggrieved

Where is the word ‘invite’ in this matter of judges arrest. Can a minister or a senator be arrested in the middle of the night?
— gboluseri amasco (@glamasco) October 10, 2016
The crackdown on corrupt judges will not be complete until Judges like Olubunmi Joseph Oyewole are arrested and thoroughly investigated.
