The DSS has discovered great discrepancies between actual assets owned by some arrested Nigerian judges and their expected worth.
According to a report from The Nation, detectives found a Rolls Royce in the fleet of about 15 cars of one of the seven judges under investigation.
“Operatives have discovered that one of the judges owns a mansion which was contracted to a construction firm at a huge cost. In fact, the judge imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina and Spain.
“At a stage, he conducted his ‘poor colleagues’ round the mansion in an open display of affluence. The judge has about 15 cars, including a Rolls Royce. This Rolls Royce was imported.
”During interrogation, another judge told DSS team that he did not know how and when N18million was lodged in his account because he was not getting alert from his bank. But we have evidence of withdrawals from the account.”
The source added that there was gross misconduct with their asset declaration documents.
“We have retrieved the assets declaration forms of these judges. It was shocking that one of them has three asset declaration forms with different dates of birth.”
He added that government had asked the NJC to suspend them, pending the conclusion of their trial.
