DSS raid: NBA asks arrested judges to step aside pending trial

Yesterday, the Nigerian Bar Association, asked all the judges being investigated over their alleged involvement in acts of corruption, to recuse themselves from further judicial functions or proceed on compulsory leave, until their innocence is fully and completely established. .

The legal body said such step was not only necessary in order to protect the sanctity and integrity of judicial processes that may involve the judges concerned, but to also safeguard the public image of the judiciary as an institution.
