When we got adequate insight on him, verging on over N500million influence, we welcomed him. "The judge was given a duplicate of our give an account of him. When he read it midway, he prostrated, held the legs of the security boss (Lawan Daura) and asked for pardoning. We caught the way he was reeling on the floor.

"There is no invulnerability presented on judges, we are just compelled by a solemn obligation to ensure the court since it is a sacrosanct place, a sanctuary of equity. When you have issues, you go to court yet promptly a judge is outside the court, he or she resemble you and me. "There is nothing abnormal about the capture of judges other than it has not been the practice. In any case, it is ordinary. Once a request of is held up, it is typical that you simply need to investigate it as a security office." "We have begun investigating assertions against a few banks; we have destroyed all banks. Some bank boss have been going to the DSS office in Abuja for elucidations on a few exchanges we are researching. "Consistently, at the very least three bank authorities come here.
